Stroman to the... METS!?

[Barkerfan23]

Yo how do we keep getting f***ed by the lolmets in trades damn

 

Incompetence

[glory]

The Shatkins nut riders will spin this into a positive shortly. I’m actually hoping they do. I need something to cheer me up.

#BlueJays getting Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson for Stroman, sources tell The Athletic.

 

Now it is time to really throw up, all those other teams needing pitching and Atkins f***s this up completely. I would have been happy with just a one for one swap of a top 50 pitching prospect from another organization. But this.... this is lottery tickets for a top 5 pitcher with one year left of control.

 

Atkins you are incompetent and just as well you held on to Stroman for another year. What an utter disaster of a trade..... these two guys might crack a top 100 list in two years and that is a big "MIGHT". One guy is 24 and might not reach the majors until 26.

If this keeps up won't be many nut riders left.

[BTS]

I’m getting pretty closed to being convinced that Ross Atkins is a f***ing idiot. Would not be upset if Shapiro replaced him.

[gruber92]

I really hope that everybody can now agree that Ross Atkins will get us nowhere.

Lottery tickets lmao. Return is disappointing but Jesus Christ.

Woods Richardson is very much trending towards being a top 100 prospect soon.

He talks like something us off with him like he is an AI or something.

Doesn't Shapiro have final say? Should ficking replace him

[Barkerfan23]

Doesn't Shapiro have final say? Should ficking replace him

 

He isnt involved in these things anymore

[Jonn]

Doesn't Shapiro have final say? Should ficking replace him

 

Is it possible Shapiro is dumb as well?

[Barkerfan23]

Oh man this was our best asset

[Angrioter]

Stroman's agent: "Hey Marcus, got a little news for you. You've been traded to New York"

Stroman: "YES!"

Stroman's agent: "...Mets"

Stroman: "God dammit"

[Krylian]

Is it possible Shapiro is dumb as well?

 

Anything is possible.

 

This is Shapiro's boy. Is he capable of admitting/correcting his own mistakes?

[BTS]

It’s not Shapiro’s job to know who these prospects are or to be involved in trade discussions. It is his job to make sure his GM is competent though.

[BTS]

Seems very unlikely

[DigitalRock]

Expecting s*** for Giles...

[gruber92]

Getting close? Atkins showed the world he's a f***ing loser over the past year.

[baubau]

I really like this trade. Ya'll bitchin

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Expecting s*** for Giles...

 

Giles may be hurt.

[AintNoThang]

Woods Richardson is very much trending towards being a top 100 prospect soon.

 

He's an 18 year old pitching prospect. He should be a second piece with at least a current top 100 prospect coming back as well. This is f***ing pathetic!

[jaysguy44]

I understand the appeal to Woods-Richardson. He will be a top 100 prospect very soon, and has big time potential.

 

Still disappointed though. Idk what they see in Kay.

[Krylian]

I do like Woods-Richardson. But he shouldn't be the best part of this deal.

[Barkerfan23]

Lol imagine if Mets flip him for a higher return now

 

Oh you didn't know

[fireballW]

Unfortunately kind of what I'd expect from this administration. At least the previous administration would swing for the fences in the trade market.

 

Two players traded. One we don't seem to get to find out who he was traded for, and the other a dull trade.

 

All Stroman's numbers show that he is a legitimately good pitcher in this league. With a year of control there should be at least one VERY good prospect involved.

[Krylian]

I really like this trade. Ya'll bitchin

 

There's one

[jerb]

 

Eno Sarris

@enosarris

 

The tenth-best homer rate among qualified starters in the juiced ball era for an A-ball guy and a guy struggling with homers in Triple-A, seems worth it for the Mets. Weird return for the Jays.

[gruber92]

It’s not Shapiro’s job to know who these prospects are or to be involved in trade discussions. It is his job to make sure his GM is competent though.

 

I wish he had made this clear when Anthopoulos was still here.

[Grant77]

This return is unacceptable, one of the worst I have ever seen at the time of the trade. Worse than the Dickey trade.

 

Why are we treating Stroman like a Kevin Gausman/JA Happ type asset. That's the type of return we got.

 

Good teams take a guy like Yu Darvish or Aroldis Chapman and turn them into elite prospects. That's why we are never going to be good with this regime. They can't properly evaluate talent outside of the draft and thry have proven that time and time again. I'm beyond disappointed in what they did here. It's a fireable offense for Atkins.
