I think the biggest impact might be on AA pitchers not getting to throw to him as they develop, not his potential MLB impact.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

the "prospect" went to college with Mets owner Jeff Wilpon's son, and no I am not kidding.
the much-maligned Vargas has a 102 ERA+ this season, after much better than that in his last 8 starts of last season.
how many teams have a 5th SP as good? the vaunted Yankees have ONE SP with a better ERA+ - German at 111, and his IP count is such that you can hear the ticking on the broadcast while he is pitching.
this deal was not as bad as the Stroman one was good, but it's ridiculous to trade in your division AND to a fellow WC contender if you think you have any shot.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I find it more ridiculous that the Mets are more willing to trade with their division competition and geographical rival than they are the Yankees. Shows how the Mets arent exactly business savvy.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Originally posted by umjewman View PostDo we know the Yankees were actually willing to give the Mets anything of value? Based on the fact that the Yankees need starting pitching and they did not make a trade, perhaps the Yankees wanted to trade nothing of value to acquire a starting pitcher. Despite what callers to WFAN would say, I doubt the Mets want to take one low-level prospect from the Yankees for Syndergaard.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

Originally posted by Hammer View PostThis was more of a general thing than it was specific to this particular deadline. The Mets and the Yanks dont trade. However, apparently, the Mets and Phillies do. Seems stupid to me. You dont see it that way?

"The offense could get a boost in San Francisco. Jay Bruce is expected to be activated from the injured list in the next day or two."

I'm in a weird spot. Bruce owner, but I also own CDickerson, and my UT is Beaty who is taking advantage of LAD injuries. so be careful, Jay.
