OT: 2018 MLB Thread

[NJDevs26]

The best Met thing of the last few weeks is the (NSFW) audio that came out of Terry Collins ripping the umps and MLB two years ago with that ridiculous Thor ejection after throwing a pitch a few feet behind Utley.

I would hope the Yankees trade for at least 1 top 3 rotation guy and go hard for one this next offseason. Everything is ready besides the starting pitching.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Starting pitching is overrated.

Yankees keep on rolling. Just a shame they're 5 games less than the Red Sox. Hopefully they just keep winning to take the division.
I know, still early days of the season lol.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Nick Swisher playing during this old timer's game is borderline cheating lol. Swish is younger than CC is.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

I think they are trying it, but who knows...not everyone responds the same way. And Tanaka arguably hasn't been quite the same since, it's telling he was the Tanaka of old during the playoffs last year when he could let it hang but he's been very inconsistent otherwise.

yeah, crazy situation. who knows.

Was today the game that get's the Met's out of their funk?

 

[Emperoreddy]

I swear it is Met fans who keep trying to convince people on talk radio that the Yanks should trade Gleybar or Anjuares for deGrom

I know you have to give to get but I’m getting very hesitant to including Andujar in any deal.

I just don’t like the idea of trading a young high potential positional player for a starter, especially one closer to 30.

They just break so easily that I don’t think the value works out.

Wow, didn’t realize he was 30 already. I’d look elsewhere. I thought he was like 24 for some reason.

Yeah I thought so too at first. Once I was corrected I locked the prospects up.

Yeah he is amazing, but a 30 year older starter is such a long term risk.

Both teams would end up throwing the phone down.

The Yankees don't need someone the caliber of deGrom to win a WS. They should under no circumstances deal the players mentioned above. And the Mets shouldn't entertain trading deGrom or Syndergaard

 

[Wingman77]

Guys like Clint Frazier and Tyler Austin could get moved along with some higher end prospects that haven't played in the bigs yet. They have more or less been ensuring to get them playing time where they could to in essence showcase them.

Guys of the JA Happ level, who they've been linked to showing interest in, will likely be the guys they target. Those of the Jamie Garcia and Sonny Gray mold as they picked up last season. Pitchers good enough and with known positive potential, but not bank breakers to get.

The fact that Torres or Andujar would simply have to be involved in a hypothetical deal are why I want nothing to do with a Mets pitcher.

If Tanaka didn't get hurt base-running in a National League ballpark the conversation wouldn't be as active.

As of today, both Torres and Andujar are rookie of the year candidates. They should be staying. Guys with their potential and what they've shown to this date shouldn't really get moved. Crazier things have happened so we'll see.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

start spreadin the news.... the yanks came back again......

 

[Emperoreddy]

Taylor Hart and a walk off win. It’s what you want

They sure as hell shouldn’t be moved for a 30 year old pitcher.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Yea there’s no way I involve 1 of them let alone both. That may be the ask for a top of the line pitcher but he better be closer to his mid 20s rather than 30, if I’m to consider that. I’ll take a tier below if that’s what they will get.

 

[Wingman77]

Absolutely not. If anything, to equate it to hockey, it's gotta be on the Larsson for Hall level in the way that it's young talent for young talent - and you also hope for the lopsidedness on the Yankees end in terms of skill received .

The Austin and Frazier type guys, are the guys I don't mind moving for a guy that is a little bit older.

 

[New Jersey]

At what point is it safe to say that this some 1998 shit going on right now?

All they do is win.

I am so f***ing ready for the insanity that will be the left field bleachers against the Sawks the next Friday. We keep winning with these games in hand, we can begin the process of burying Boston next weekend.

I anticipate an ALCS-like atmosphere.

 

[New Jersey]

Also, really good Yankees team... The Devils are clearly on an upward trajectory for the first time in a while...

Could NJ Yankees fans be embarking on a glorious redux? Stay tuned.

S'go Yanks, s'go Devils.
