Mets news from the Winter Meetings and we had winter league
baseball last night.
MLB Trade Rumors: The
Los Angeles Angels have signed Anthony Rendon. At least he is out of the division.
MLB Trade Rumors: The
Los Angeles Dodgers signed Blake Treinen for one year $10M.
MLB
Trade Rumors reported that the Mets signed Michael Wacha. It guarantees
$3MM…with up to $7MM in possible incentives.
Mets 360 said the Mets
rectified 2012 draft mistake by signing Michael Wacha. They note: “With the 12th pick the
Mets took Gavin Cecchini…Wacha was the 19th pick and Stroman was the 22nd pick.”
SNY.TV
says the Mets are talking to the Astros about Carlos Correa. “The Astros
might want Matthew Allan, the first round-caliber high school pitcher the Mets
smartly drafted with a third-round pick last June, ignoring warnings that he
wouldn't sign, but they'd have to get more than that for Correa. And, in truth,
with so little high-ceiling pitching in their system, the Mets can hardly
afford to trade Allan. So while Brodie Van Wagenen should continue to explore
the possibility, it's hard to see how the teams match up to make such a deal.”
The
NY Post says that Steve Cohen is staying on right track to rescue Mets. “At
the winter meetings, Commissioner Rob Manfred indicated he is satisfied with
the manner in which team owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz are proceeding on the
sale…Manfred said he had to be notified before Wilpon and Katz put the team on
the market, and those guidelines were “followed to a T.” Manfred also indicated
he has been kept apprised of the process.”
Elite
Sports NY has how Yu Darvish says that J.D. Davis is one of the toughest
hitters in MLB. “Davis could be a special hitter. If the Mets are serious
about trading him, they have to make sure the deal is worth it.”
Reflections
on Baseball asks why the Mets won’t take a flyer on Matt Harvey. “Matt Harvey may or may not be an answer to
strengthening the Mets team in 2020. But what would it hurt to at least try…”
The Rule 5 draft is today.
We will have more on this later this morning here at Mack’s Mets.
In
the meantime, you may like seeing how the team with the second pick the Orioles
is looking at it. Or
the Diamondbacks.
In the Dominican league, Daniel
Zamora was the only Met to see action for Toros
Del Este as they won last night 4-2 (box).
With two out in the 8th and Juan Lagares on third
base, Daniel came in and gave up a single scoring Juan. Instead of facing the next batter, Carlos
Gomez, Daniel was removed. The new pitcher induced Carlos to hit
into a force play ending the inning. So
while he gave up an inherited runner, no runs were charged to Daniel Zamora.
Mack’s
Mets blast from the past comes from January 2012: Mack on
Baseball Chapter 7 – Do the Math.
