But unless they're ready to move on from Thor or maybe Conforto I don't think they're bringing back very much in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Not trying to be funny but the local Dick's Sporting Goods had all Mets apparel 1/2 off. 13 hours ago, Captain Murica said: This is probably the darkest of places I’ve been in as Mets fan since “06-08”, I was born in 85 unfortunately can’t even fall back on that squad. I'm in my 30's and two seasons come to mind that rival this: End of 2004- The veterans on that club pretty much all gave up on Art Howe. The inmates were running the asylum then. It got leaked Howe was being fired before the season was ending. I had to listen to him breakdown on the Mike & Maddog show and hang up. That was rough. 2009- A seriously injury plagued and underachieving year. Had to endure a Phillies/Yankees World Series as well. I'm sort of the rare Mets fan that really has nothing against Philly but what made it worse that year was Pedro Martinez joining their club in a pathetic attempt to get a ring. What makes this SCARIER though is VW is under a 4 year contract. At least per Mike Francesa. God knows what more damage he can create.

Yeah, I'm 33 and just because this one is so recent makes it the worst. I have friends(phillies and yankees fans) telling me I shouldn't be upset or so negative because they made the WS back in '15. They keep forgetting that we traded 2 top 50 MLB prospects to obtain Cano (4 more years of that corpse blocking McNeil from playing 2nd) and Diaz. The trade was really for Diaz but still we threw in Bruce, Swarzak, and Bautista as well. Swarzak is having a solid year with the Braves and would've helped tremendously right now. Bruce is showing that he can hit the long ball again. You don't trade for a closer if you're not going all in and committing to it. Plus, the failure to evaluate the talent on the roster IE McNeil and Alonso. My on going issue with BVW is that there was options, better options to fill the holes on this roster yet he decided to acquire his former clients. Ottavino instead of Familia, McNeil rather than Cano, Kimbrel instead of Diaz, and that's without giving up any prospects in the process. Sigh, I just hate how they're out of it already and its not even July yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterbluesky Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Just because Mick lost faith in his club doesn't mean we are selling off talent.You don't rebuild after giving your ace a massive contract...just my two cents worth. I can see Dom getting moved for pen help...Frazier is tight with Mick..Mick goes and so will Frazier..but as G.Goat stated..I would expect next to nothing for him. These are bad days..but let's stay positive,lots of baseball left to play. Edited June 29, 2019 by Misterbluesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 A pretty good interview with Dom Smith below. I was in "so done with him" mode last year, it's remarkable how he's turned things around.

Yeah ultimately the right move would have been trading him over the summer when his stock was an all time high. While I didn't like most of Brodie's moves at the time I didn't have a problem with holding unto Wheeler. I would've been pissed if he got it all together consistently with another club. It's just par the course for the Mets though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've been away recently and not dialed in, but as I see it here's where we stand: 67 games left, 5 games out of the wild card (not bad except there's only one team further away) 4 game winning streak (including two on the road against a .600 first place team) Wheeler would be a decent trade chip if he didn't just get hurt Thor could bring back a haul but I don't think that trade is in Brodie's DNA I'd trade Frazier to free up playing time for McNeil and Davis. I'd trade Dom Smith if it brought back something of value. Same with Ramos. Not sure if dumping either would be worth the return. The bold move would be moving Rosario and rolling the dice on Hechavarria. Dr. K had another relapse. That sucks. Ending on a positive note, Alonso won the HR Derby. Wish I had seen that.
