I'll play - if it's $20 and you have a slot

Mets are about BUILT Have been through a tough rebuild - and now ready to compete No sign dArnaud will change positions. You dont do that just because he had some hiccups with the glove in one season and you have another catcher coming up behind him. Catchers that hit like he projects are GOLD. But we still need to see if there is any CARTER (read: leader) in him.

How would you control idiot trades?

19 year old Wuilmer Becerra was also part of that deal. 6-4 195 lb OF just needs to solve the contact problem a bit as he moves along to upper levels of A ball this year

I dont think the organization does. Many of my fellow fans are a different story

On the offensive side he will be just fine, maybe elite for the position. Keeping an eye on the receiving and throwing skill set.

I like the deal from our end NOW, though at the time I would have preferred it if RA took the offer we gave him. I was SHOCKED you dealt dArnaud. From your perspective, you have gotten effective innings, but not of the Cy variety. If you fall from the race, maybe dealing him in July might be the right call.

How do you Jays fans feel about the RA Dickey deal? Syndergaard should be emerging this year and dArnaud may be a top ten catcher. Glad to see Dickey doing well for you
