2021-22 New York Mets thread: If you can throw, tryouts are at Citi Field

I don't see how the Nationals come away with this as a winner in this trade. All it took was two Top 5 prospects to get this across the finish line? If the Mets were ever serious trade partners, they could have absolutely done this.

I dont think it would've *just* costed us (2) top 5 prospects. Washington would've taxed us.

Given what they got back, that's not a tax. They gave him away. They got a SS who doesn't play, a below average pitcher and a washed up Hosmer in addition to a couple of prospects. Rizzo checked out.

Yeah I think being in the same division would have meant them trying to bend us over with the prospects.

Lerner's aren't going to own next year and Rizzo will be out of a job. I don't think it'd have been as bad as thought.

From what I'm reading Hosmer isn't included in the trade

Looks like he is, and he's holding it all up.

Our gm neeeds to call Washington asap if that’s what it took.

Doubt they would deal Soto to the Mets despite the package that got him.

 

[Spidey Man]

Now that Soto is done.

I want Willson Contreras, chafin and I want JD Martinez. We can platoon dh, fix the black hole at catcher and strengthen the pen

 

[Spidey Man]

Couple of quick numbers since we are waiting for a deal. 60 games left in the season, and if we go 500, we still end up with 95 wins.

We also have more games against the reloaded nationals than Atlanta does.

Everywhere I'm reading it sounds like the Nats got hosed

If thats the case the Mets should've sent them Preston Wilson, Ed Yarnall, and Geoff Goetz for Soto

Harold Reynolds worked up over JD Davis leaving the Mets like he's done anything with the team.

It's wild he still hasn't made any adjustments to hit high fast balls.

People calling this an overpay cuz of the quantity but really it's nothing.
