Mets signed Cuddyer 2 years deal

[Angrioter]

Mets lost the 15th pick overall 2015 draft

 

 

Crappy move!!

[Angrioter]

Really nice job by the Rockies. Makes me think we should have payed Colby down the stretch and qualified him.

 

Next move: CarGo to the Rangers for tons of good prospect and sign Stubbs

 

Stubbs, Blackmon, Dickerson

[NorthOf49]

Rockies 1, Internet 0. I actually kinda liked them extending the QO initially.

 

Dave Cameron, Dan Szymborski and others ripped into them to no end lol

[Laika]

lol the Mets r really dumb

 

why

[Angrioter]

Cuddyer and Grandy?.........................Poor Lagares.

[Laika]

Harvey, DeGrom, Wheeler, Niese, Colon, Gee, Syndergaard, Matz, Montero is a practical embarrassment of rotational riches.

 

If they are planning on more than one QO signing, then they really aren't "giving up a first for Cuddyer".

 

Go ahead and put your big boy pants on, New York, sign Hanley and Andrew Miller or whoever, and try to win something.

[Laika]

They still intend to play Lagares in CF, from what I recall.

 

His point is that Cuddyer and Granderson are statues... get with the program, sparky.

[Angrioter]

Oh, I get it my DR hombre!

 

Cuddyer and Grady are awful defenders.

Cuddyer gor $21M for 2 years from #mets

 

What?

[NorthOf49]

Maybe the Mets are about to acquire Tulo and one of the stipulations of the trade was that they had to sign Cuddyer too, earning the Rockies a pick.

What do you think the Mets would have to give up?

[Deadpool]

Hah, that's illegal. Not happening.

 

Yes, nothing against the rules ever happens in baseball...

[SAAviour]

I'm surprised he took that deal over QO, but maybe they told him he can stick around for a complete re build and at his age give up any chance at the playoffs or sign elsewhere. rockies knew with Tulo and cargo being shopped he wouldn't take QO.

Ya I don't get it from Cuddyer's perspective either. He only guarantees himself 6 million more? A good year in Coors again you think would have got him more than 6 mil in 2016. Not to mention what he he could have got out of investing the 15 mil this year. Must have either wanted out of Colorado or wanted to play for Mets. Not about the Benjamins I guess.

Yeah it's not all about maximizing dollars. At Cuddyer's age, guaranteed years are just as valuable. Also, the Rockies suck and Cuddyer is from the East coast.

[BTS]

Mets actually have a chance to be decent this year.

 

C - d'Arnaud

1B - Duda

2B - Murphy

3B - Wright

SS - Flores (is his defense for real?)

CF - Lagares

RF - Cuddyer

LF - Granderson

 

Harvey

deGrom

Colon

Wheeler

Niese

Syndergaard/Montero/Gee

 

If they move something like Syndergaard + Flores + Nimmo + Smith for Tulo, they could challenge for the division.

[RealAccountant]

Essentially $15M/year with the pick loss.

 

your pick values does not include time value of money considerations

[RealAccountant]

Cuddyer is a very similar player to Melky, Older yes, but production wise Melky is only slightly better IMO. Cuddyer has put up some big season in American League. If this is the market for him, Melky will not get a 5 year deal. More like 4/48 and maybe not even that due to the steroid stigmata

[Funky]

If they wanna make a splash we have Reyes, Dickey and Thole that I would be willing to personally deliver to the Mets.

 

Of course I am in the minority and would love to bank the money saved for next year, let the pups gain another years experience, and trade some of the entitled vets for youth with athleticism and energy.

 

This team is so full of holes even if a big name free agent is brought in, it would be like putting a bandaid on the Titanic.

[SAAviour]

The Mets are unenthusiastic about the available free agent shortstops, and plan to go the trade route to fill the position. The Diamondbacks, Mariners, White Sox, and Cubs are viewed as viable trade partners. Andy Martino of the New York Daily News says “it has been difficult, if not impossible” for the Mets and Cubs to agree on the value of Starlin Castro. Meanwhile, Martino says Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox only emerged as a possibility within the past week.

 

 

Hmmmm, I can think of a SS who would look good in a mets uniform.

[glory]

Reyes to the Mets makes a lot of sense. How much salary the Mets would be willing to take is the question.
