I like Kwan as a player but I don't think him or Nimmo could handle CF plus Robert crushes lefties which we need badly. Probably costs way more prospect wise at least I would think.
im taking the risk on the upside at this point. at his worst he's tyrone taylor with pop....at his best he could protect pete

Would rather move Acuña for Robert and save Vientos for a pitching move.

A little over 24 hours left till the deadline. Which of the baby Mets are getting introduced at home on Friday night?


Listening to the Locked on Mets podcast now. Can definitely see Acuna going for Robert; White Sox can't be too picky at this point. And in the process, save Vientos for a deal involving Alcantara or another starting arm. Would be nice to have a pitcher other than D-Pete that go beyond five innings.

I think people feel like it's an super overpay cuz they recognize the names. Blade (not top100) is the biggest name in the group. Gilbert (not top 100) was no longer viewed as the CF of the future. Butto is out of options. Not saying they fleeced or were fleeced but it doesn't change much for the Mets prospect wise in the immediate or long term imo.

The only issue I have is that Gilbert was rumored to be in on a ton of moves over the past 12 (or so) months.. so the market was there for him. I just figured he alone could've probably netted a 35 year old set up guy.

That’s where I’m at with it. I’m surprised he was included in a deal for a 35 yr old reliever. My surprise is directly tied to the trade scenarios he’s been involved in the past year or so.
