I came out of retirement to look at the historical comps for a potential Juan Soto trade. #Mets #LGM #Soto
goodfundies.com/what-might-it-…
"Cabrera and Willis brought two consensus Top Ten prospects, plus other parts. Betts brought much less, two Top ~40 prospects and another piece, because he was attached to Price’s $92 million price tag."
A really great insight--- who even HAS the prospects to deal in such a trade?
I don’t think MLB dot com out as much thought into this as we did.

This deal is without Corbin, but it’s still a LOT more from the Mets.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Giacometti's "Pointing Man" is the most famous work in Steve Cohen's collection, but Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" is the best one. Image
By calling his sculpture “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living,” Hirst is challenging us to comprehend death. He’s telling us we can’t fathom “death,” even though we are face-to-face with a dead animal. blog.sevenponds.com/soulful-expres…
The use of a shark is also interesting, as we come face-to-face with the most notorious killing machine on our planet. And even though it is harmless we gaze upon it and can't help a primal feeling of imminent, non-philosophical danger.

Do you do it if it costs Alvarez, Mauricio, Drew Smith and a low level prospect, plus take on half of what’s owed to Patrick Corbin?
Lots of replies. Let’s vote.
This is awesome bc usually when I propose a trade there are fans from both sides yelling at me. This time it's just all Mets fans saying yes. Wonder what #Natitude thinks.

Struggling to remember here: who are the best players traded in MLB in the last twenty years? The biggest talents at the youngest age with AT LEAST a full year of control remaining. Bonus points if they are pre-FA contract.
A-Rod and Stanton both had massive contracts. Scherzer was impending FA. Sabathia too. Machado too. Johan too.

I think the answer is Miguel Cabrera? Or Francisco Lindor? Lesser guys like Josh Donaldson?
The best answers so far: Miguel Cabrera, Trea Turner, Mookie Betts, Pedro Martinez, Francisco Lindor.

Yelich was suggested too but he wasn't a STAR at that point.

People keep blowing up my mentions because I think Pete Alonso has a near-zero chance of being a Hall of Famer. Sorry guys, it's true. But it's not an insult! I love Pete and he's great. But he's 110th among active players in WAR.
Pete's 27. If you limit it to active players 28 in their age 28 and younger seasons, he's 77th in WAR.

This is in a group with Tommy Edman, Willy Adams, Salvador Perez and Nick Castellanos. He's closer to Jonathan Villar (9.3) than Brandon Nimmo (12.5).
Alonso's 126 home runs so far through his age 27 season are fewer than Matt Olson (142), Jonathan Schoop (133) or Eric Hosmer (127), to say nothing of Anthony Rizzo (166), Freddie Freeman (166) or Trout (285).

The 2015 Mets were the best team I have ever watched regularly. Wright, Duda, Granderson, Cespedes, Conforto, Murphy was six deep wRC+ 130 or better. The rotation has deGrom, Harvey, Syndergaard, Matz all healthy with Familia and Reed. Just outrageous.
It doesn't look as good on paper because Murphy only started going nuts in August... Cespedes, Wright and Conforto aren't among the PA leaders... Reed and Syndergaard weren't there for full seasons... we didn't know what deGrom was yet fully...
Murphy hit .347/.390/.595the next year, we just didn't know it yet. Cespedes hit .287/.337/.604 for us. Syndergaard was about to beast a 2.60 ERA in 2016 and Reed 1.97 ERA. Not a weak spot among the 25 guys.

Been off Twitter for almost a month. I feel MUCH better.

Twitter is an outrage machine- it incentivizes people to the most polarizing, dramatic takes and cruel replies. It’s a bad place.

Unless social is your job, I highly recommend a break to everyone.
Not signing Kumar Rocker is a shame, but the Mets clearly came to the judgment that the compensation pick next year was worth more to them than signing Rocker today, even if he was willing to accept less than the reported $6M. It is not more complicated than that.
Rocker is an immense talent and would almost certainly return lots of positive value if he had signed- but the Mets chose the compensation pick instead. You can be sure that they did their homework on this decision.
