ABS Challenge Considerations
Tarik
Skubal
Just to
provide a general idea, one industry source unaffiliated with the club
speculated Detroit may look to ask for two top-level starting pitchers and a
position player prospect. In Mets parlance, that means something like Jonah Tong, Brandon Sproat and prospect Jett Williams. The Mets’ farm system ranks among the league’s best, but such a demand
would significantly compromise its health. Perhaps it takes less or involves a
major-league player or two; teams in recent years haven’t exactly received
jaw-dropping returns for players entering their walk years.

CF Carson Benge
Not many Minor Leaguers did more to establish themselves
in 2025 than Benge. Following a solid start to the season at High-A Brooklyn,
Benge earned a promotion to Double-A Binghamton and proceeded to go bananas.
Over 32 games there, the 2024 first-round Draft pick hit .317/.407/.571 with
eight home runs, prompting the Mets to bump him further up the ladder to
Triple-A Syracuse. That’s where Benge ended his summer.
“Through the course of the season, he’s a guy that really
found his stride,” Mets vice president of player development Andy Green said.
Just 22 years old, Benge must prove more adept at
Triple-A before the Mets will consider calling him up, meaning he’s not likely
to be an Opening Day option. But the team does figure to build its 2025 roster
with Benge in mind. Mets officials may shy away from acquiring a center fielder
on a long-term deal, knowing Benge could be ready by midseason. If all goes to
plan, Benge could eventually give the Mets the sort of long-term center-field
solution they have sought for years.

I'm not in favor of trading for Skubal. Too expensive.
It would be that
How's the game?
By the way, check an old post out...

I also hope that the Mets pass on a trade for Skubal. Love the player, but the cost to obtain him in a trade would be astronomical (despite being a one year rental). The listed trade package would gut the farm system and would make the Pete Crow Armstrong deal look tame. Plus, Skubal alone will not put the 2026 Mets over the top, IMO.
If you really want Skubal, what until next offseason and sign him as a free agent (much like Soto).
And, as Mack and others have stated, we have a lot of pitching coming down the pike, I prefer patience and seeing how things look over the next couple of years.
Mike,
I am with you on this. He will be a free agent and available in 2026. If, however, he would accept a trade and sign a long term contract, then a Met friendly trade should be pursued.
To make matters worse, BORASS is his agent. As good as he is I would pass on this also.
Imagine if Skubal adds a screwball?
I challenge the assertion that teams dont get alot for walk year players. My exhibit is Tylor Rogers: how much more than Tidwell, Gilbert and the young pitxher should thw Mets have given up in January? I’m not getting over that trade….
