Of course we’ll see, but seems a lot of people like the deal for the Cards

Keith Law of The Athletic, who primarily covers prospects, had the complete opposite reaction, calling the deal a "[expletive] heist" for the Mets.

[nonsense], all the geniuses who know better have deemed it a disaster

Now if other teams were lining up to give us their top 5 guys for Helsley it might be different, but next year, the Mets won't have Helsely and we're have at least two pretty good prospects that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

+1.

The Mets get another top reliever for their playoff run. Of course, everybody in NY is wetting their pants. But it's a 2 month rental.

We will see in a couple of years what return the Cardinals got. Ceilings are a RH power hitting 3B. Back of the rotation starter and a reliever. The Floor is nothing.

But you have to roll these dice. Helsley was gone anyway.
