Will they get traded this deadline? I have a gut feeling Giancarlo will.

Early on in the year there were some discussions between the Mets and Marlins regarding Stanton, and apparently there was some real fire behind that smoke as one article I believe referred to it. I believe they were seeing where each side was at, at that point in time, what it would take and they more or less agreed to discuss later in the year. The Mets are terrible but they will be buyers at the deadline.

The mets will be buyers the way toronto did it the past few seasons... buying low on Rasmus and escobar... Now of course it did not work great for toronto, but it may work for the mets... Buying stanton makes no sense, since both teams are looking for the future... The mets would have to give up to many future pieces and probably Wheeler would have to be in the deal... The first player on my mind that they can buy low for is starlin Castro... Not saying this will happen and not saying the Cubs want to trade Castro, but this is one trade i can see happen...

I agree. The Mets could also be using that as a gauge for what the market will look like if they choose other options. If the price for Stanton was D'Arnaud and Wheeler I think I might do it though.

I would not make that deal... i know Stanton is great, but what is a great hitter for a bad team?? A team focused on future should not get rid of their future stars, even if they are unproven. Thats just the Milkspiller rule...

That was the rumored price when they spoke in April, more than 1 GM said you have to do that deal if you're the Mets, so maybe they know something we don't? Wheeler is making his debut today so if he is a trade chip let's hope he doesn't destroy his value.

With the way Harvey is pitching, i would not trade Wheeler unless of course the Mets confidence in him gets too low...

I also agree about Mets should not trade for Stanton because it does not make sense

David Price Sweepstakes

Everything points to David Price being traded this winter. He doesn't turn 29 until August and he's one of the best left handed pitchers in the game.

Which teams have what it takes to trade for one year of David Price? What kind of player-package will he require?

It would cost a ton, a young established player with multiple years of control left plus like 3 top 50 prospects.

The stage is set for Price to go to a contender. He's dealing and ready to make a difference for someone.


Who ends up with Price?

Now the Rays are saying they'll keep him and try to stay hot? I hope they do and fall flat on their face.
