[Canada4Gold]

[Dwight K Schrute]

Source: total guarantee of 3/30 for Dickey with $12 mil option for 2016.

Atleast he is Canadian.

yeah.. lol talk about a scrub.

 

[Eyedea]

They bamboozled us. Nickeas is not a prospect.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

"non-elite prospect" indeed

 

[Ruski]

Hahaha Mike Nickeas Wiki page already lists him on the Blue Jays:

LOL

 

[topched]

Quick everyone google nickeas..............

For those who might not know... Minor league catcher on a minor league deal, has bounced between Mets and Buffalo the last few years. Can catch Dickey, likely the minor league depth Catcher AA has been trying to get the last little while (Wilson, Whiteside).

Best of all: Canadian. Born in BC.

Wilmer Becerra

**** nickeas????Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
Mets get darnaud syndergaard buck and becerra

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
Jays get dickey nickeas thole

Really? Nickeas is almost 30 years old and he's absolute garbage. Becerra is actually a half-decent prospect.

I've got to say, I'm pretty disappointed.

Mike Nikeas is a catcher. Basically no offensive upside at all. Probably ends up as minor league depth/replacement for the lost string of waiver wire catchers in Buffalo

 

[Stats01]

After everything, I have to admit that was underwhelming.

those prospects are just filler. When I heard "non elite" I thought at least they would be respectable lol

 

[Crispy Crust]

Man value wise we got violated pretty bad. Dammit.

 

[Ruski]

Yup, just a body to put in the minor leagues to replace the exiting D'Arnaud.

Do we know if any cash went to the Mets in the deal?

 

[Woodman19]

What a total fail trade in terms of value.

Not every move is made with the majors in mind. Or every piece in any given trade.

 

[Sokil]

What a total fail trade in terms of value.

Cy Young winners on 50% off cash discounts aren't valuable at all.

 

[Langdon Alger*]

If Romero can bounce back to his pre-2012 form, holy crap. The lineup won't need to be "perfect" to contend.

Are we done, or is Rogers going to go whole hog and authorize the cash to sign up a legitimate 1B?

 

[Ruski]

What a total fail trade in terms of value.

Don't be a downer

True value can be judged in 3 years after our "Dickey" has either delivered us the World Series or not.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

total overpayment, wow. Well, at least the BJs will be fun to watch RIGHT NOW

 

[alcanalz]

What a total fail trade in terms of value.

Cy young winner for two good prospects plus spare parts? Cy young winners grow on trees?

 

[calcal798]

Steep price, but when you total it up:

In:

Dickey
JJ
Reyes
Beurhle
Cabrera
Thole
Nickeas
Bonifacio
Izurtis

Out:

Alvarez
Nickolino
Syndergaard
D'Arnaud
Hechavaria
Mathis
Escobar
Marisnick
Desacflani


I think we know who the winner is.

 

[cyris]

Well AA if you really want to go all in go sigh LaRoche.

 

[Kessley Snipes*]

What a total fail trade in terms of value.

getting the cy-young award winner comes cheap?

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

I don't think I am going to be able to sleep tonight.

No...no...no...not good enough value....no....never...never...no...AHHHHH!!
