NY Mets Trades for post season push:
Trade for Max Scherzer
Mets send to Nationals
1. Mark Vientos
2. David Peterson
Trade for J. Baez and C. Kimbrel
Mets send to Cubs
1. Ronny Mauricio
2. Frank Kilome
1.) 27 Jul 2021 15:27:07
If Nats could land Vientos that would be an incredibly solid get for Scherzer.
Love Mauricio as the headliner here, but there would have to be some other supplementary pieces like Alexander Ramirez or Jordan Palmer instead of Kilome with the direction the cubs have gone in most trades.
Not bad all around, feel like both these moves would put the Mets as serious contenders.

MrOctober_24,
Nats trade
Agreed that Vientos and Peterson would be a goo hall for Nats especially since Scherzer is a rental. They would get a young position player and a decent MLB pitcher under control. It's costly but the Mets would go into the playoffs with arguably the best 1 - 2 punch in a rotation.
Cubs trade
I agree the secondary pieces would change. The only thing is that I don't think the mets will want to trade Palmer while trading Mauricio in this trade and Vientos in the Nats trade. After Mauricio the Mets don't have much SS prospect depth.
Mets would get Baez who could play SS until Lindor comes back then shift around to 2b, 3b when Lindor in healthy. Plus getting Kimbrel for this year and next year ---- he's been lock down.
3.) 27 Jul 2021 17:33:34
I highly doubt Nats would trade Turner.
Turner and Soto are the 2 players they will build around.
4.) 27 Jul 2021 17:37:35
There's a better chance that Chi Sox says something bad about Jose Abreu than the Cubs getting Ronny Mauricio for Baez + Kimbrel.
5.) 27 Jul 2021 18:05:13
Dan
There have been multiple legitimate sources that have stated the Nats are taking offers on Turner and Seattle is very interested.

Guys, you aren't getting Luis Castillo for anything short of an elite, controllable player and probably a top 50 prospect as well.
Adding in Suarez as well? Yeah, Mets would need to include Francisco Alvarez AND Ronny Mauricio, just to begin the conversation.
2.) 03 Feb 2021 14:11:01
At the beginning of the offseason I'd agree with you.
But so far the major trade didn't get packages like you are saying.
Lindor, Darvish, Snell, Arenado didn't get back top prospects
Teams who need to dump salary are taking lesser players.
3.) 03 Feb 2021 16:50:23
Lindor is a rental.
Darvish is old and expensive.
Snell is on a 3-year deal that is moderately expensive.
Arenado is crazy expensive.
Castillo is still under team control for three seasons and the Reds have zero reason to move him.
And for what it’s worth, the Rays got a really good return on Snell.
4.) 03 Feb 2021 17:28:14
Castillo isn't a salary dump, either.
Trading Castillo would represent an opportunity for the Reds to get more youth in their system and try to rebuild a core.
If they want to dump salary, they'll likely start with Sonny Gray, Suarez, or even Moustakas.
But trading Castillo for a lesser return doesn't make any sense.

Houston is said to have interest in Mets P Seth Lugo as a starter.
Not sure why Mets would do this unless they feel they can replace Lugo via free agency.
But - What do you think is a fair trade with Houston, keeoing in mind the Mets needs of CF, RP, SP and 3b?
1.) 31 Dec 2018 21:25:36
Lugo is 29 and has 4 years of team control remaining. I'm sure something revolving around Tony Kemp and Rogelio Armenteros would be pretty good.
2.) 24 Jan 2019 14:31:44
Lugo is a very solid, under the radar pitcher. as Thestatbook said, Armenteros would be a nice fit in a deal, but with the Mets crowded infield, I think that Tyler White (who can play a little bit of the outfield) would be a better fit.

1.) 23 Nov 2016 18:32:08
your point?
15 Jun 2016 23:17:34
NY Mets:
There are a lot of position players ailing
Sign Gourriel to play 3b (wright is done)
If walker is out for a while bring up Herrera
Loney is ok while Duda is out
D'Arnaud has to hit when he gets back
Bring up Nimmo to play LF (conforto needs to rest his wrist and deAza is atrocious.
1.) 16 Jun 2016 03:45:43
Gourriel would likely need some time in the minors to polish some things up.
2.) 10 Jul 2016 15:32:03
Wright isn't "done"
30 Dec 2015 14:16:09
Some low risk / High reward, out-of-the-box bullpen ideas:
1. Cliff Lee
2. Tim Lincicum
3. Brandon Morrow.
1.) 30 Dec 2015 17:26:47
Didn't Morrow resign with the Padres on a minor league deal?
11 Dec 2015 03:46:46
NY Mets
A perfect platoon CF for the Mets would be Corey Dickerson from Colorado (who say they want to trade a lefty batting OF) .
What do you think it would take for the Mets to give for Dickerson?
27 Jul 2021 17:33:34
I highly doubt Nats would trade Turner.
Turner and Soto are the 2 players they will build around.

11 Nov 2019 18:28:54
Easier solution
1. Keep Thor
2. Collect insurance $ for Cespedes for last year of contract
3. Hope Lowrie can be serviable for last year on contract
4. Spike Cano's food with PED's and get him a failed test / lifetime suspension.
11 Nov 2019 18:26:32
If Cespedes doesn't play Mets collect most of his salary on insurance.
