Stroman to the... METS!?

[Jimcanuck]

Would not surprise me if the Mets flip Stroman to the Yanks now.

It is not possible that this was, or would've have been by the deadline, the best deal available. Other teams must have gotten the sense that the Jays did not realize all the numbers on how good Stroman is and where his numbers stand league-wide.

[gruber92]

Don't you think the Mets would have offered the same deal in the offseason considering they are looking at next year at this point? Why would they take this deal from them now 4 days to go still before the deadline.

 

It's f***ing batshit mind boggling. What in the actual f*** is Ross Atkins thinking? This is the deal he was afraid of losing in three days from now?

[fireballW]

Other teams who were going after Stroman must be wondering what happened. Lots of time left until the deadline and an underwhelming trade. I agree with many of you, Mets could probably flip Stroman right now and make the Jays look really bad.

Some collusion going on or they are drunk

[Barkerfan23]

Wtf

 

Edwin Diaz would be an odd return.

We gave them too much credit for Cleveland. There were probably other smarter people involved

R you suggesting Atkins is being paid on the side for this

[tercet]

lol Shatkins, when should we expect the press conference in which they say Kay is a good pitcher?

 

Then Shi Davidi will come out with a 2500 word piece on why Kay is good..

Yep, Shi and Wilner and BNS will be the mouthpieces for their masters.

The current league trend is high strikeout and whiff guys, and Stroman is not that kind of pitcher. It's entirely possible that the contending teams really didn't value Stroman as anything more than a mid-rotation guy. I don't understand why we wouldn't pull the trigger in a few days as opposed to now though. Surely someone would have gotten desperate and coughed up a top prospect.

 

The return may end up working out well for us, but good results aren't the same as good process. It'll still be a bad trade.

I'm really hoping the Mets do trade Stroman and get back better than what they gave up. Atkins needs to be fired immediately and Shapiro should be on the hot seat.

Mets fans seem to be really upset at this trade...??

Probably because no one wants to cheer for Stroman.

Jew power and support no matter what is what this is called. Lol..

They seem to be really high on the Richardson kid

[Barkerfan23]

That's why I like Barker

 

He maybe a hillbilly hick but he calls it like it is

[Barkerfan23]

Wtf

 

Edwin Diaz would be an odd return.

Reddit is a terrible place for capturing a fan based sentiment

[gruber92]

I miss AA and Gibby.

[jaysguy44]

Talk about being high on a prospect, Mets fans are pissed they lost Woods-Richardson in this deal.

[Inklink]

Nah, they'd justify whatever whoever was in power would do. Wilner doesn't even hide it.

[Barkerfan23]

I miss AA and Gibby.

 

I really miss AA a lot.

[gruber92]

Would it not have made sense to trade for the best player(s) possible with three days left and then flip them to get pitching?

[TheOutsider]

SWR has upside but still far away.

Kay was solid in AA and s*** the bed in AAA.

 

They must be really high on these kids, or no way this is the best possible offer for Marcus Stroman.

 

My theory is their scouting dept was drooling over a possible Pearson-Richardson 1-2, I'd probably be the same.

 

Kay seems to me like a 'spin rate over results' guy, which I would hate. Extremely low groundball rate seems to be not playing so well for him with the 'juiced' balls in triple-A.

 

Woods-Richardson, though, was on Fangraphs' expected to make 2020 top 100 list of teenage pitchers alongside... Pardinho and Kloffenstein. I hope they move quickly through the system next year.

Only thing I can think of is that they are really high on this Richardson kid

One of those trades that everyone loses. Why the f*** are the Mets trading for Stroman? Why did the Jays trade him for a s***** return? Atkins appears to be a s***** GM.

[Ex Player]

 

[Krylian]

So where do Kay and SWR slot into the Jays ranking now?

[fireballW]

It does feel kinda gross but I try to keep in mind that our front office has an excellent track record of identifying high level pitching talent - Kluber, Bauer, Carrasco, Clevinger, Bieber, etc.

 

This is the silver lining I guess. He could end up a stud and hopefully they got it right.

[Barkerfan23]

Davidi already pumping the propaganda

[TheOutsider]

Well it's a bit like if your GM gave up Syndergaard for a starting pitcher with just one more season of control, and you weren't even that sure about being able to contend during that time period.
