Slade

Medicals are always done and all information is always exchanged. I don't think it's that big of a deal if he doesn't get dealt at the deadline. Also don't think teams are backing away, seems more teams are shifting now to relief help cause they don't want to pay the SP price.

The future doesn't look bright as a starter but like him a lot as multi-inning relief arm.

Actually one of his better interviews. I don't know who the guy that was filling in for Sid was but my god he was bad. Literally asking questions that have just been answered. I won't continue before 5Tool calls me a racist but yikes.

Zeuch had his best start since returning from injury. 7IP 5H 3ER 1BB 5K 93 Pitches

Did he really just ask Biggio to bunt?

I would really love to take Bryan Mata and Jay Groome away from the Red Sox.

This is why people hate Ross Atkins. How hard is it to say Aaron is garnering some interest but we like having him here? or something to that regard.

Kloff's line looks better than his day actually went. Almost half his pitches were balls. Hopefully after the deadline we see a slew of promotions including Stevenson, Kirk, Wall, Espinal, Large, etc.

I disagree though if they wanted to sign him to a long term deal, I'm sure they could of worked something out.

Braves interested in Biagini from Rosenthal.

Wouldn't it be funny if they get a better return on Sogard than we did.

I bet there is a lot of media, front office and teammates that are glad to see him go.

Just FYI for those wondering MLB Pipeline updated their rankings. Kay ranks 5th and SWR ranks 7th. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019?list=tor

This is some funny s*** the Mets weakened their own leverage.

BA write up on both guys. Anthony Kay, LHP Age: 24 The Mets' first-round pick in 2016, Kay didn't pitch after signing due to an elbow injury and missed all of 2017 after having Tommy John surgery. He returned last year and has flown up the system, reaching Triple-A this year in just his second season on the mound. Kay is a power lefthander with a fastball that sits at 93 mph and regularly reaches 95-96 mph. He complements his fastball with a curveball he can land to both sides of the plate and a changeup that plays well against righthanded hitters with sink at the bottom of the zone. Kay's arsenal is that of a mid-rotation starter or better, but his control and command are inconsistent and make him a back-end starter in the eyes of most evaluators. He is nearly major league ready and could make his debut this year. Simeon Woods-Richardson, RHP Age: 18 The Mets' second-round pick last year, Woods-Richardson made his full-season debut this year and earned raves from scouts as one of the best pitchers in the low Class A South Atlantic League despite a pedestrian 4.25 ERA. Woods-Richardson is a 6-foot-3 power righthander who pounds the strike zone with his power arsenal. His four-seam fastball reaches 95-96 mph and his cutter sits at 92 mph, giving him two hard offerings to front his four-pitch mix. His 12-to-6 breaking ball has hard downward action and shows the potential to be an impact pitch, and his changeup flashes average. Woods-Richardson struggles leaving the ball up and gets hit as a result sometimes, but evaluators feel he could be an impact starter once he learns to work the edges of the strike zone. He earns wide praise for his fearless, bulldog mentality on the mound and aggressiveness in attacking hitters.

If you're looking at mlb pipeline I think they should take over 5 and 6

No quite what I was expecting but this is a good trade. Kay reminds me a lot of Borucki with a wicked curve and SWR will be a top 100 prospect soon.

That rules out Banda and De Leon.
