According to my sources. Both would be good fits for the Mets.

Would your "source" happen to be another thread? viewtopic.php?t=1518579

Shut up Bobo

They can get them both for Nolan McLean +..........but of course the Mets won't do that. How about Jonah Tong + EJ Ewing or Jett Williams? How about Brandon Sprout + Jacob Reimer? Go get 'em Chaim!!

Would the Cardinals have any interest in Mark Vientos?

I doubt it. He is not a very good fielder at 3B, and the Cards have enough 1B and DH candidates.

I would take Tong (BTV +25.8) for Contreras (-14.1) and Nootbaar (+11.9) in a second, but the Mets would never do that.

Ok deepthroat

This example right here is why you take so much flak from other posters! But of course you are well aware of that, as it fits into your narrative for the attention you are seeking here. Congrats on another successful example of doing just that! Figured out what your handle stands for.
S=Stupid
H=Harrassing
A=Alarmingly
D=Dumb

Who they got to offer in that deal?

Sometimes I have to take BTV with a grain of salt. In the case of Contreras I have to dismiss it altogether. I had a thread recently about whether his contract was really underwater. I compared his production to Josh Naylor who had just signed a contract for an AAV ever so slightly higher than Contreras. WC and JN were almost identical in every meaningful offensive category. Contreras plays better defense. While older, his contract is also shorter. BTV has a value of -2.8 for Josh Naylor and -14.9 for Contreras. With the Naylor signing being a fresh, market value signing (most believe he could have gotten more, but wanted to come back to Seattle), I take that to be the true market value for that level of production at that position, and would value Willson more closely to Naylor's value.

That said, if the Mets truly do have interest in both Nootbaar and Contreras, you should be able to send them along with 10M for a prospect like Carson Benge (would make Craviduce and I both very happy). Benge is the #21 prospect in baseball and should start the year at AAA. He seems likely to be ready for MLB before the season is over.
