So they should treat his contract value as if they paid him $12MM for 2014 and $8MM for 2015, and be therefore willing to eat a few million to move him. They got their $12MM worth this year.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-27811976169117091012014-09-26T13:57:16.567-04:002014-09-26T13:57:16.567-04:00For the very reasons you list that Gee is likely n...For the very reasons you list that Gee is likely not to pitch for the Mets again would be why it would be hard to trade him. The preference would be dealing Gee over Niese as they probably want Matz to get some time in AAA and unless we're game for a redux of John Lannan there are no other lefty starters healthy and in the pipeline. <br /><br />Unfortunately other teams will more likely be asking about Wheeler, Syndergaard, to a lesser extent Montero and probably Matz. They likely understand that Harvey and de Grom are off the table. If anyone actually wanted Colon he would have been gone already.

First of all, thank you for your Friday...Ernest - <br /><br />First of all, thank you for your Friday posts.<br /><br />I too have been very fond of Gee and remember the days that most Mets pundits thought 'the other Dylan' (Owen) would be the big star pitcher on this team.<br /><br />He and Niese should be considered to go down the road that many other starters have gone (Familia, Mejia).<br /><br />In addition, Gee hasn't made= it very easy to trade him this season.<br /><br />I remember when Aaron Heilman balked all the way to the pen, as did Bobby Parnell. All starters hate becoming relievers, but this team must make room sometime this year for both Syndergaard and Matz.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-6440778588980474562014-09-26T12:32:48.950-04:002014-09-26T12:32:48.950-04:00How would new dimensions effect Montero's futu...How would new dimensions effect Montero's future with ballclub ?Ernest Dovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12054861033443392454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-58980808782493151992014-09-26T12:25:41.664-04:002014-09-26T12:25:41.664-04:00If the fences do get brought in, Gee and Colon wou...If the fences do get brought in, Gee and Colon would go from bad to worse in homers allowed. I'd move both. Matz lacks major league experience, but allowed 3 homers in 2014. Something to think about Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
