I like that idea, and have been presenting it as a possibility in various streams. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in Vlad's arbitration hearing.
Fine on Crochet and Williams. Aronado is on a downward slide, is temperamental and doesn’t always give max effort. Has periods of laziness. Luke warm on Castillo, Mullins.
Crochet is AMAZING. If the Mets could trade for him, it will cost a ton. But it could be worth it. I think the Sox will want Sproat, Williams or Gilbert, and Clifford or maybe Tong. If the Mets could package Baty into that, I think it would be awesome ... but I don't think the Sox will go for that. I don't think Baty has much value. Honestly, .. Sproat, Williams, Tong seems like a package the Sox might bite on ... maybe another lower prospect. And that would hurt a lot to give up. But if Crochet could be healthy for several seasons ... worth it! This could be fascinating over time. Mets fans should not be under the misapprehension that Crochet would come without serious cost. I do not see it actually happening, personally, .. but I'm more than open to it.
@@johnpastore7685 Yeah. That is the issue. Can the Mets pry Crochet from the Sox without "giving up the farm." It will take a lot. That said, Crochet is a stud. Proven. The Mets prospects are projections. It is a very difficult calculus. I trust Stearns to make the right move. But it is certainly fun to think about Crochet in a rotation with Senga, and potentially Burnes. That could be epic. But, if it costs too much, it could hobble the franchise for years. That's why Stearns gets the big bucks, I suppose.
That is an interesting one. The Mets could take on that contract without much issue. And adding him after Senga, who is expected to be healthy in '25, really helps fill out the rotation. I think Senga, Castillo, Peterson, Butto, then ______ (fill in the blank) ... that is a solid rotation. And, if the Mets could lure Manaea back too. Really strong rotation. I'd love to see that. Even if it costs McLean, who I think might be amazing down the road, plus another prospect (Morabito? Baro? Maybe even Vargas?). I could live with that. The Mets have a real opportunity in '25, if Stearns handles the offseason right. This could tilt a lot of ways. Exciting to think about.
Nolan Arenado is someone the Mets should have traded for a number of years ago. Now, I'm not sure, and I don't support the idea of moving Vientos to 1B, because that is NOT an upgrade from Alonso.
The more I think about Arenado, the more interesting it becomes. Viscerally, my reaction was "NO WAY," .. but the more I think about it, the more it potentially makes sense. It really could make sense for the Mets, depending on what happens with Soto and Alonso. IF the Mets nab Soto, let Alonso walk, and move Vientos to 1b ... Arenado actually kind of makes some sense, for the right cost. I will be surprised to see it actually happen, but it is interesting. Would LOVE to see the Mets trade for Fairbanks. He could really aid the pen. It would cost, but I think it can be done. Agree that Rooker would be awesome for the Mets. Don't see it happening.
I'm not much of a fan of bringing in Mullins. He's a good player, and he'd likely be an upgrade for the Mets ... but I'm not sure he's worth giving up much in terms of prospects. If the Orioles give him away, okay ... consider it. Beyond that, I'm thinking "pass."
You guys need to keep an eye out for Vlad Guerrero Jr's arbitration hearing and see what happens. I think the Mets can make a trade and land him.
I wish man!
If I had to choose between Arenado and Bregman, I would rather have Bregman.
Nolan arenado is going to be 34 in April. He’s going to be Robinson cano. That’s a pass
Agreed. I don’t want Arenado anywhere near this team.
Thank you for grinding out the stuff love it
Love the content boys keep it pumpin
Any thoughts on a potential Vladimir Guerrero Jr trade if Alonso doesn’t resign?

Great video guys. Not a fan of getting Arenado tho. Just let Vientos stay at 3rd and if Pete isn’t back sign/trade for another first baseman.
Fine on Crochet and Williams. Aronado is on a downward slide, is temperamental and doesn’t always give max effort. Has periods of laziness. Luke warm on Castillo, Mullins.
I love your videos, but not sure I love these takes today
I thought of all those options and they sound good, but I definitely wouldn’t even entertain Mullins or Naylor
I was thinking Mcneil n a prospect for Castillo? Mariners had a crush on mcneil before
Nolan Arenado?... DH?
3B is Vientos/Mauricio.
SP are ticking time bombs I’m not trading anything major for one either develop them or buy them on the cheap
If they could get Devin williams that would be huge
i need Garret Clevinger in my life

Don’t give up the farm

Luis castillo trade really would be perfect for both teams. Mariners need to shed payroll and they have a lot of young inexpensive starters.

I think jordan Montgomery could make a lot of sense
For that contract? Hell no.

Guys, why not just sign Bader instead of giving up assets for Mullins if both are on 1 year deals
Makes perfect sense. Mullins is change for the sake of change.
No!! No more oldie locks!!!
mets need to trade for GARRET CROCHET in mlb free agency 2024
The royals are a good up and coming team it’s not a good example
Resign manea please since sale fixed him
Sproat is off the table tong maybe McLean ok
Love the turn around on that arenado trade. Guys were nuts with your initial reaction

Mullins won't work with Taylor's splits. He is good against righties and struggles against lefties...
Don’t really care, I still think it’d be a great platoon option
I'm not much of a fan of bringing in Mullins. He's a good player, and he'd likely be an upgrade for the Mets ... but I'm not sure he's worth giving up much in terms of prospects. If the Orioles give him away, okay ... consider it. Beyond that, I'm thinking "pass."
McNeil, Mauricio, Christian Scott, 2 prospects in the 30-60 range, and $10 mil cash to White Sox for Crochet.
Too much
