MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The Mets will never trade with the Yankees.... unless they are going to pay a kings ransom. Degrom might be the best pitcher in baseball, and we are wasting him they have before, but they weren't very significant players being swapped. Degrom is having a helluva season...he is really good and I don't think he is a product of the nl...I think he is just that good. You're right, the Mets are wasting him...so might as well trade him and get some much needed prospects...which the Yankees can give them. The prospect of sevy and degrom going one two in the playoffs makes me salivate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Freddy Coupons was so pissed that the Yankees landed Stanton, I doubt he would approve any trade that has one of the two Mets best pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The Mets have a poor farm system, the Yankees have one of the best...a deal can be made, but the Mets aren't smart enough to make a deal. They dealt half their team for awful relief pitchers last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I would not trade Degrom , he's under team control till 2021. Build around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I would not trade Degrom , he's under team control till 2021. Build around him. how old is he? I know he isn't that young....came into the majors at like 25 or 26...how can they build around him? Sign Machado, kerahaw and Harper for a billion this off-season? The Mets need to rebuild...they don't have much in the farm and Rosario is still a work in progress...comforting is good and they have their and degrom, but they need a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it will, and should cost a lot to trade for him...but the yankees have the prospects...and even young MLB players. Say a package of Didi, Albert abreu or Justus Sheffield and choice of Clint Frazier, Billy McKinney or Aaron hicks. That gives the Mets a borderline all star ss/infielder in Didi, a top pitching prospect and a young major league ready of prospect with big upside or Hicks, an under 30 major league outfielder that's getting better as he gets healthy. How's that for starters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think 2 top minor league position player prospects would be a signed deal with me.... But Mets ownership does not want to hand the Yankees a World Series ring.

I only wish the Mets had traded Harvey to the Yankees two years ago yeah, that's why I said that's a good starting point...add in another prospect like thairo Estrada if you want. Glad the Yankees didn't trade for Harvey. I think I read that he has been pretty good since joining Cincy...I don't watch any Cincy games so I would not be able to say if he looks any better, but I read he has like a 2.50 era since joining them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of those starts did he pitch 6 innings. So basically the same shit he was doing with the Mets, maybe a little less horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Another game.... where they go down by 2 and it is over. I watched a couple innings as I flipped stations around. The first two weeks of the season really had me thinking that I would be watching enjoyable baseball through the summer.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I smell a fire...sale.like last year!!! Yanks will take degrom. He's 30!! I knew he was older than the rest..came up older, but I can't believe he is 30 already. Maybe that will reduce the price for his services.... fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Fucking interleague play. I don't understand why they have to do this. You know how many sports have different rules for each of their leagues? NONE because it's fucking stupid. Not to mention, in baseball it creates a completely unbalanced schedule. Get rid of interleague play and pitchers don't hit in the world series no matter the park. if the archaic nl wants to keep their pitchers hitting, that's fine, but get rid of interleague play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 that won't happen. you think interleague play is good for the game? It makes for an unbalanced schedule. Bud selig was an awful commissioner, Manfred should get rid of it. And pitchers hitting is stupid. They don't hit at any other level...even national league teams have pitchers getting hurt on the base paths/burning, getting hit while burning etc. It's stupid, dangerous and gives teams an automatic out 95% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the game that's not an answer...its stupid and makes for an unbalanced schedule..amongst other things. Cespedes just can't get on the field, just read that he was pulled from a minor league rehab game for a quad injury. He's getting paid like a million dollars for every major league game he plays...the new carl pagan. If he was healthy all year, the Mets wouldn't have fell off like they have. It's got to be so frustrating to be a Mets fan. Awful owner won't allow them to contend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it first came out it grabbed some extra attention and was fun, but now it is just boring. It is also unfair how it is done, the Mets end up playing the Yankees every year, so they have two harder series then the rest of the NL east. But the DH is fucking lame, pitchers are baseball players and they should hit just like everyone else. I understand that position players spend a ton of time focusing on hitting, no reason a pitcher can't do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
