I do feel Mets have to try and move a couple top ish ranked SP arms of their value is high enough right now. Me personally the "untouchable" arms right now are Sproat, Scott, Tong.
Can't wait to see Acuna in NY. Think his speed plays at the next level. Probably get a look next season or maybe if rosters expand as a pinch runner in Sept. Not sure if roster expansion is still a thing? Jett/Gilbert getting mulligans for a lost year. Sucks so bad. But Bader, Tyrone, and espcially Nimmo have been amazing this season. Kind of hope they keep the pitching prospects (Vasil, Hamel) with an eye for next season. Scott, Senga, Manaea next season are locks.
Trade? Baty obviously. But what would you get for him? There are just too many unknowns with Gilbert and Jett out. Ryan Clifford might be pushing Alonso to DH in a year. What about Morabito, who steals as much as Acuna? Can you imagine a lineup with base stealers like Jett Williams, Nick Morabito and Ronny Mauricio? You just can't know yet. Also the present Mets players, if they keep going like they are, Hader, Lorentz, and Iglesias - will all be re-signed. Even a no-name like Nick LoRusso, is hitting after 3 months of professional baseball. He's got power and he fields excellently at 1st and 3rd (so I've heard.). What will he be like with a season under his belt?
Yeah would hate to trade Baty at this point because it's not his highest value. Still scary to point to Clifford as Alonso replacement just yet. As far as future 26man and salary/tax just already having Alvarez/vientos/Nunez/Butto/Scott is huge going forward IMO
I'm also wondering aloud if Mets want to move on from players like a Brett Baty or Carlos Cortes who may perhaps need a change of scenery for various reasons and perhaps have value out there? Is there almost a version of selling high on RP Wilkin Ramos while he's hot?
Bin isn't piggybacking, they are getting some great starts that go deep!! crazy i know, but ideal. I tend to think of the Vasil/Hamel... they had monsters in Bin like tuart is now... give all these guys a chance to settle. Though clearly, I think Sproat is THE next man up. He looks ready. Think after this ASB he could get a bump to Syr. Love to see Joander bump too, he will need a 40 man spot in offseason, or be a milb FA. Trades: Jett, Parada, Reimer, JRod, Vargas, keep pitching.
think i saw you mention Cortes... I don't think those dev list type guys are holding much trade value. i value him, but idk bout the rest.... think he times out of the org this fall
