2015 MLB Regular Season Thread: Rights of Manfred

[Aragon of Odin]

Ya Tulo is signed for longer, but Reyes has missed more time then Tulo since his arrival here, and his numbers have been sliding too. As to the artificial turf, I thought that there was some big project happening this off season to have it replaced? Been a while since I heard talk of it, but could swear I remember reading about it.

Great trade off for us, better defensively and offensively, but still need to address our pitching, big time.

So Papelbon to the Nats it's looking like.

w/r/t morse the plan is clearly to DFA him and get the draft pick, the dodgers are buying draft picks left and right this year. pretty intersting stuff. i could se a change coming.

They want draft picks in the years in between when they drop 50 mil on international spending.

Flores and Wheeler heading out for Gomez. Flores still playing SS for the Mets currently.

Jays still need pitching of course but grabbing Tulo for Reyes is a steal. Just because you need pitching doesn't mean you ignore a great deal for a bat.

there is another substantial side of the trade:

According to ESPN.com's Jim Bowden, the trade also involves the Atlanta Braves, who would send talented young left-hander Alex Wood, right-hander Jim Johnson and lefty reliever Luis Avilan to the Dodgers and receive minor league infielder Hector Olivera, signed just two months ago to a six-year, $62.5 million deal, as well as minor league pitcher Zack Bird injured reliever Paco Rodriguez, according to reports, and the Marlins' compensation draft pick.

Hamels to the Rangers in exchange for Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro, Jerad Eikhoff and at least 1 more player.

Couldn't agree more, though not quite Tulo for Reyes trade, Castro is one of our top pitching prospects. Still love the trade, AA may not always get it right, but he has a nack for being able to negotiate and pull the trigger, he always keeps it exciting for us at least. Getting Jash and Tulo in less then a year is A ok in my books.

Wish Norris could work out his issues, I know it can be tough but he was doing so good in the majors, and if he can get his shit worked out he'd be a great addition, along with Stroman hopefully coming back next year too.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 40s41 seconds ago
Alderson just told #Mets’ writers “there is no trade” for Gomez and that a deal “will not transpire.”

Now I see why Flores was crying. He thought he was finally getting away from that team, just to pulled back in.

Mets people now saying no trade with Brewers for Gomez
