Since the Mets are going to trade Syndergaard, but not to us we should make a deal with the team they do trade him to.

If we are going anywhere in the play offs we have to have another good starter.
Cashman has to be willing to give up someone good, probably more than one, if we are going to the WS this year. Personally I doubt he will.

That’s why none of the players on our team were acquired in trades... oh... wait... |

I am saying now that he should make them an offer they can't refuse.
In honesty I think there is no chance Cashman will get a first line pitcher. I would settle for a decent relief pitcher.

www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/report-mets-open-to-trading-syndergaard-diaz-to-braves/ar-AAEVETd?li=BBnba9I With the Braves currently in a minor funk, a trade would install some life into first-place Atlanta heading down the stretch.
According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, that could include landing Noah Syndergaard and Edwin Diaz from the division-rival New York Mets. New York sent scouts to Triple-A Gwinnett to scout top prospect Kyle Wright Thursday evening. The Mets are open to dealing with their division rivals.
The report notes that Atlanta would part ways with its top prospects only for a controllable asset. Both Syndergaard and Diaz fit into that category.
It was noted on Thursday that the Mets will likely move Syndergaard before Wednesday’s trade deadline. And while Diaz did suffer an injury in his last outing, it’s not believed to be serious. He, too, could be moved.
A deal of this ilk would likely require Atlanta parting ways with Mr. Wright, the Braves' No. 2 overall prospect. It would also include a couple other players from the organization’s top-30 prospect list.

So the Mets are open to dealing with their division rivals but not the Yankees who don't even play in their league.  |

As dumb as that is from a baseball perspective it makes sense if you think about the way the Wilpons have (mis)managed this business. They care more about losing the casual fan to the Yankees than anything else. |

It isn’t even close to the dumbest thing the Wilpons have done. They succeed in spite of themselves. It goes to show you how much wealth and privilege gives the incompetent a huge advantage in life. |

They would be better served to not make a deal at this point. What we have now is a team that's built to win a lot of games. What we don't have is a team built to make it through the playoffs. Chances of this team going anywhere in the post season are not very good at this point. They could improve if Severino and Betances magically appear and return to form. Aside from that why mortgage the future for no reason. No ones is giving up a number one and for number 3's they are asking the moon. Pitching has been a sore spot for over a decade now. Why it wasn't addressed earlier is puzzling. They had their chances but they skated. Seems kind of silly to give up the farm right now for a band-aid.

Noah Syndegaard would not give the Yankees a good rotation. He'd only improve what has been a real mess. While I'm skeptical that Deivi Garcia is the next Pedro Martinez, I wouldn't trade him away in a deal for any one starter when the other four starters are pitching so horribly. For years, I've been reading about what a great pitching coach Larry Rothschild is. Now I read he's blaming the seams on the balls for Tanaka's failures. Geeez. What's Paxton's problem? Balls are too white? This past week has been a nightmare. PS....Kyle Higashioka strikes out as well as Gary Sanchez. Does that make him a keeper? |
