Open Thread - Should the Mets Trade for Shane Bieber?

 


Should the Mets try to trade for Indians righty Shane Bieber? 

54-26, 3.17 lifetime, 27 years old, free agent in 2025. 

Nice. Better than nice.

If so, what would make it worth it for the Indians? 

What would the Mets have to give up to get a Bieber that is better (and a year younger) than Justin Bieber?

Vientos,McCann and a magnum might get it done.

I bet they’d want Megill

What makes trading for Bieber (and likely giving up more than those suggested above) better than signing Rodon, Verlander, and one or two of our own FAs?

Get real the Mets don’t have the chips to deal for an ace who has two years left before free agency. Alvarez and Baty might interest Cleveland but the Mets want to build with young homegrown talent.

Woodrow, trading for Bieber was raised as a question, not a mandate. To spur conversation. You express a reality-based position. He’d not come cheaply. Want to keep the kiddies? You can’t trade for him, then.
