Pitching prospects are the deal for Stroman.
I'm fine with this if they don't include Kay, Allan and Simeon Woods Richardson.

I don't get it. Sure they're within 5 of the wild card but why delete the farm when a wise move would be to restock.

Maybe bvw is going all in and trying to make a surprise run.

like Stroman and was hoping the Mets could have acquired him. Didn't think it was going to happen while they're essentially non competitive. They're setting up a retool for next season. As mentioned, Stroman is a ground ball pitcher, so guys like Rosario need to get better quickly.

The farm system doesn't have arms. They have position players who can be decent to good. That's one area Sandy really whiffed at when he was drafting. Doesn't make sense for BVW to give up Allan this quickly.

The last week or so against other bottom feeders probably got the FO gassed that they might be able to make a miracle run

fukk it, at least that means they gotta hold on to Thor

right? :to:

Yo someone hip me to why the Mets would make the trade for a SP while also having Thor on the block? ImI confused what yall trying to do?

They want to be competitive next year they’re not rebuilding they’re trading Thor because supposenly he’s been a pain in the ass to deal with and they don’t want to pay him.

All bullshyt aside tho.. if we go into the stretch with a rotation of

deGrom
Noah
Stroman
Wheeler
Matz

Vargas long relief


:takedat:

And our bats are somewhat alive..

:picard:

With that staff anything is possible especially if the bats do their part. They will need to figure something out on defense and Diaz needs to get his shyt straight
