Slade

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.

They wanted Sogard to get some production out of their leadoff spot, Galvis doesn't really help that.

I would bet anything Urena is coming first then Bichette after the deadline.

O'Brien + would be unreal. I'm expecting someone like Anthony Banda or Jose De Leon.

Lol so many people were so sure that the player we got back for Sogard was going to be trash. We actually had a bidding war going on.

No they can't do that anymore.

The Twins trade is so strange. The Marlins gave up a MLB asset and a good young arm to get Lewin Diaz who seems to be figuring things out this year but will need to be protected on the 40 man roster.

Not happening man, even in the PCL what Lux is doing is insane.

Need two of Graterol, Balazovic, Duran.
