Not too heart broken over Kay. He's been brutal in Syracuse with an ERA near 7 and has been lit up with the ball MLB uses. I wanted to keep him because he's technically the Mets best prospect. At least they didn't have to part with Allan who has top of the rotation potential.

That's a shytty return for Toronto when Stroman was the best available starter out there. They could've waited until the offseason to trade him if that's the best they could do.

If Houston isn't willing to trade Tucker for Thor, I would have to think that means they'll re-sign Cole under any circumstances and maybe trade Springer after the season.

One of our outfielders unfortunately has to go. Springer has the most value on the trade market, but I would dump Reddikk before doing that. He’s unreliable in the playoffs.

No way they trade Springer. Reddikk and Yuli will be on the block this offseason. our OF depth isn't the best in our system.

Not in the system but we have a logjam up here in the majors, Yordan is classified as an outfielder too. The lights seem to have turned on again for Jake, you also have Tucker waiting, they throw Straw out there occasionally etc etc. I wouldn’t want to trade Springer either but if he yields a ransom of premium prospects to keep the show going then....:yeshrug:

We could use a catcher that can hit, maybe someone that can push Altuve to be more consistent, and you can never have enough pitching prospects.

Yuli & Reddikk aren’t going to get us much in return especially with JJ’s contract.
