    Mack, what did I tell you about the Agent of Doom and his trading skills?
    We got a 26, twenty six, TWENTY SIX year playing at AA level hitting 195 with no power.

    Can't wait to see what garbage they get for Wheeler.

    Please tell how the Mets compete next year if they trade Syndergaard, Wheeler and Diaz.

    Then someone, anyone tell me the logic of building a win now team to break it up before the year is up.

    Then someone tell me why extend deGrom if you were not interested in building and keeping a good team together?

    Hey Brodie, trade deGrom to the Yankees for Frazier and Lagar...I mean Florial so that I can finally stop being a Mets fan and go over to the dark side.

    My guess is he had a hard on for Vargas after he called out that reporter.

    (if he bea the shit out of Martino he might have gotten a medal).
    .
    Other than that this dump is a dump

    At least when Sandy dumped players in 2017 he brought back players that, while not highly acclaimed prospects, fit a need, the bullpen. The hope was that maybe one would stick. They at least needed to bring back an outfielder with speed, even if they were not a prospect.

    Bossart is in the lineup for Binghamton tonight and Ali Sanchez was called up to Syracuse
