Mets/Yankees Thread

[Isles Junkie]

What a strange feeling it is as a Mets fan with this Cano news. I'm more excited about the open roster spot & the options this opens up, rather than thinking about the saved money. SteveCo was going to spend the $ on top of Canos 24m anyway.

Cano suspended one year for PEDs. On one level I'm not surprised but I still
can't wrap my head around behavior like that in a league with guaranteed contracts.

He just kissed $24M goodbye.

Mets' management can't be entirely unhappy since they're off the hook for this year's salary.

More money for LeMahieu.

I hated that trade the minute it happened. BVW was awful. I never thought id be happy with a player on a team i support being suspended for a whole year but here we are.

Just too bad theres 2 more years left of that mess of a contract.

How dumb can Cano be to get busted AGAIN for PEDs? When his mentor was A-Rod, I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

 

[Isles Junkie]

I bet SteveCo will buy him out & essentially end Cano's career.

Mets trading for Lindor.

Steve f***ing Cohen.

Any word on what they gave up for him? I thought the Mets had a depleted farm system and didn't have the necessary pieces to get him. Definitely a big deal.

Shame the Isles can never make a deal like this. All joking aside when is the last time the Isles have acquired a piece on the level of Lindor through trade?

Piazza I think. This is huge!

Gary the kid Carter for all you millennials.

The Mets gave up Andres Gimenez, Amed Rosario, Josh Wolf, and Isaiah Greene.

Love this trade for Lindor AND Carrasco(he has a friendly team deal and is a true #2 starter). I think this puts the Mets out of the Bauer market but hopefully still in the Springer market. We shall see...

I said last time the Isles made a trade like this. We got new rich owners and we had to be happy with getting a top coach. Still have not added a big time player in 3 years.

 

[Beacon Isles]

Huge deal for the Mets. Not only getting Lindor, but getting a very good starter in Carrasco, and still keeping arguably their top 6 prospects. Add Springer and maybe Brad Hand, and this team looks good!

I feel bad for Cleveland fans. I heard their payroll now is around $40M (!)

Yoenis Cespedes on 7/30/15.

I'll remember that week like it was yesterday.

 

[BrockLobster]

Add springer and another pen arm and dare i say WS contenders

 

[Lights911]

Awesome trade.

 

[ZMan17]

Uncle Stevie finally putting his money where his mouth is! LFGM!

If this is true than thank you Trevor Bauer!

Wayyyyyyyy to much $$$.

Bauer used the Mets like Panarin used the Islanders.

 

[Isles Junkie]

I am actually glad that Bauer isn't here. Firstly, I think the guy is a flake. I want to use another word, but I won't. Secondly, he's 30 years old and he's had 2 good seasons, and now all of a sudden he's going to make the most AAV of any player in history? That's insane.

The big miss for the mets this offseason was not getting Springer. He was the guy to get.

Another miss, though not the Mets fault, is not having the DH adopted in the NL. Getting to have both Smith & Alonso in the lineup every day would have done a lot to improve us.

Still, Lindor & Carrasco is a great offseason. I will assume they'll go all out for Jackie Bradley Jr. now. People are saying to upgrade 3rd, but I think you can live with JD Davis to be honest.

Someday 1 of my teams may actually land a FA

I like JDDavis. Not sure what the issue is there.

3 bullpen arms helps too. Not that i know much about them.

 

[Islesfan22]

Bauer used the Mets like Panarin used the Islanders.

He sure did. At least Panarin didn’t troll the fans like Bauer did lol.

 

[MJF]

I still feel like the Mets dodged a bullet. Bauer's been good, but $100M good? No way!
