BREAKING: HELSLEY TO METS!!!

[kyace]

Baez most like ranks as #5 in our org now as Robey and Hence will fall. Power rh bat lacking in our organization.

[a pot and a kettle]

This deal tell's me Gorman’s future is limited in this org.

Was there ever any doubt?

Probably not, but this gives an idea of Bloom’s opinion.

Pffff...Gorman will be fine. This kid's three years (AT LEAST) away. If he even gets to AAA, which I don't think is a given.

[renostl]

What’s the point of this then? Getting low chance of succeeding bodies for an All-star ML closer….
This team doesn’t need bodies…..it needs talent….at whatever level.

20 year old SS/3B with a 123 RC+ in High A ball. Pretty talented.

22 year old starting pitcher in High A with a 2.62 ERA.

Talent......at whatever level.

Me being
Captain obvious
We won't know for awhile.

I think being 20 and younger and being in a top 10 does show
some upside. Someone likes him.

OR, the Mets system is really weak!

So the most tradeable piece returned some A ball maybees
What the point of this
Salary dump??

What kind of return are you expecting and why?

Some were expecting multiple top prospects lol

People expecting a Mick Abel type of return are delusional. 2-month rentals don't net that.

And if the Cardinals really want Helsley next year and beyond, they can pay him. Doubtful they will, though. So they had to get something.

The last two seasons should have told you that.

True, attempting positive until proven otherwise.
That and even first rounders have no guarantees, it's not like we gave
up Kyle Tucker.

[Quincy Varnish]

Not at all what I was hoping for. Bohm looks ok but he's in A+ ball.

Doesn’t seem like you know what a salary dump is.

According to this list...weaker than ours. By six spots.

Helsley was making 8.2mil…..Cards won’t be paying 2.706ml…..seems like a pretty good dump to me. Especially when BDW is getting quite a good rep for being a tight (donkey).

and we could use a 3rd base prospect as well .

A salary dump is motivated by dumping salary.

They traded Helsley to add to the farm system before he goes to free agency.
