If so, why don't the Mets try to extend him instead and trade Syndergaard if they are blow away with an offer? Would 4 years 60M + option be enough for Wheeler not taking a chance on the FA market?<br /><br />Fix the BP and the Mets have a much better team.Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02527334953909658283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-43666725965196169802019-07-24T13:44:04.377-04:002019-07-24T13:44:04.377-04:00Agree what's the rush to move Vargas when we d...Agree what's the rush to move Vargas when we don't have capable replacements AND he's cheap?
