As far as adding to the 40 man, that can happen a) because they knew they were likely to trade him, or b) because he needed to be protected and there wasn't a better prospect that needed to be protected. i.e. at times it can speak more to your lack of prospects at the upper levels than it suggests that one particular prospect who was protected is good.Last edited by Ken; 12-05-2019, 06:50 PM.

Originally posted by Ken View PostAgain, playing a bit of devil's advocate here, but I don't think Taylor was among their top prospects on any lists I've seen. Minor league relievers hit now and then, but as far as trade value, it is very low. You can pick guys up off the scrap heap and turn them into "successful" middle relievers.

As for the Mets, Marisnick is better and cheaper than Lagares. He can platoon with Nimmo in CF and be a defensive replacement for JD Davis (or Cespedes ;-)) but he has a career OPS of .660 and not a lot of upside.

The Astros have depth at the position with Myles Straw and were able to get something in return before Marisnick walks. Meanwhile the Mets will be in the market for his replacement a year from now.

Originally posted by eephus View PostLyles, Gibson, Lynn, Minor and Allard is a decent rotation albeit one prone for some negative regression.
As a group, this is vastly better than two years ago. I wonder how the various IP will fall out.
