I can’t believe this would be allowed to get out if it wasn’t actually going to happen

Scherzer last night was talking like someone who wants out.

Mets' Scherzer 'disappointed' in Robertson trade

Mets starter Max Scherzer said he was "disappointed" in the team's trade of closer David Robertson to Miami for two prospects, a deal that signified a trade deadline selloff.

"You have to talk to the brass. You have to understand what they see, what they're going to do," Scherzer said. "That's the best I can tell you. I told you I wasn't going to comment on this until Steve was going to sell. We traded Robertson. Now we need to have a conversation."

Love seeing them try to buy a Series and fail miserably.

Would be ironic if Jack Leiter is in the deal...

Sebastian Walcott and Brock Porter were potentially scratched. Are they good?

Maybe no Walcott. Him being scratched might have been for discipline reasons

You’d assume, but we’ve seen stuff fall apart after announcements in the past.

Other insiders confirmed the deal being in place, seems like its all on Scherzer at this point in making or breaking it

Let’s go max

Pulled from the middle of a game for disciplinary reasons?

Sounds fishy…but I don’t think hed be involved either way.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Good riddance, rarely delivered in a big game for the Mets despite his “competitiveness”

 

[Filthy Dangles]

He’s waiving

He’s waiving

I guess now they haggle over how many dollars Mets pay.

 

[Terry Yake]

well that was a short lived attempt at going all in by the mets. verlander will probably be dealt next. assuming the hold up here has to do with scherzer's option for next season

Is it realistic trading him after just half a season?

Would he return much? Assuming Mets don’t eat a shit ton of the contract…

don't see why not. doubt verlander wants to be there at this point either

Probably did not run to 1st at full speed on a ground ball or something like that.

Idk about that, he and the wife recently bought a very expensive penthouse in Manhattan. She wanted to be in NYC.

I think he stays for now

Maybe gets traded to the Yankees then

 

[John Price]

lol mets

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Luisangel Acuña (Ronald's younger brother) would be part of the return.

 

[GKJ]

Would love to know how long this took to come together too.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

There are multiple reasons why the Mets are where they are. Max is/was part of the problem. The offense needs to take a share of the blame as well. This was a team wide failure from the players on up.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Acuna ranked 3rd on Rangers prospect list and having the type of season to justify it.

Rosenthal on FOX's pre-game show said Verlander moving is not ouf of the question.
