No one's going to believe that. Especially when Brown himself said a few weeks ago that they are in the market for a starter. If you don't want...
These media interviews all seem meaningless to me. The idea that the Astros have no interest in a starter is ridiculously laughable. And the...
I agree they aren't likely to trade Pena, but the Pena "upside" is useful in future years - that's what also gives him so much potential trade...
Are you under the impression Diaz is their starting catcher? They are going pick Yordan over Diaz at DH without thinking twice while Yordan is...
From what we saw in the Scherzer deal, the Mets value the prospect the most. They aren't just going to take whatever prospect we want to offer -...
If the Mets are paying some of his 2023 and 2024 salary (presuming it's anything like the Scherzer deal), I'm not sure why the 2025 salary would...
And last year people were saying Cole was done after the rule changes about sticky stuff because his spin rate was down. HoF pitchers tend to...
Mets have unlimited money. They can afford to just buy prospects. If they wanted to, they could keep signing the Scherzers and JV's of the world...
Crane's issue was paying 3 years, right - he was willing to pay 2 years at his current salary? Seems like trading for him now would get 3 playoff...
How is he overpaid? The Rangers will pay $22MM for a 1.5 years of Scherzer. That's less than the Astros pay for McCullers. For a hall of fame...
I feel like you'd want to both or neither. Either blow it all up and load up on prospects, or keep the band together and try again next year....
No one is trading for what Scherzer has been this year, but for what they think he can be going forward. Same with JV. I mean, the Dodgers just...
I think it depends on how desperate the Mets are to trade him. If they are perfectly content to keep him, they only present him the best offer....
One of the wins, Embiid had 34 pts, 13 rebounds. Philly was +0 when Embiid was on the floor, +0 when Maxey was on the floor, and -6 when Harden...
Players probably shouldn't rely on promises that would violate the CBA.
I think it could work both ways. On one hand, if Mets know, they can save a lot of time and effort negotiating a deal that will get killed. On...
We don't know if that's the case though. We hope it is and we hope that gives the Astros the edge there, but the Mets don't have to broach the...
In 2017, JV didn't want to go anywhere. Astros negotiated the best deal and then they and Detroit went to JV to convince him. Probably the same...
I could definitely see the Mets capitalizing on this Astros/Rangers situation and trading Scherzer to the Rangers and JV to the Astros. Scherzer...
The one thing the Astros (and probably Dodgers) have going for them is those are the most likely places Verlander would waive his NTC.
