This trade Deadline is going to be weak….im sick of all these rumors of teams interested in this player or that player…..And this team wants to keep this prospect or that prospect…….I’ll be back when something big finally happens……..

You’re leaving? There’s a good pre-deadline move right there.

You realize the name of this site has “rumors” in it?

Lots of good OF available for Mets. That’s a smart move regardless of Cuddyer’s health. Sometimes you just have to admit you made a bad decision and replace your worst offensive player no matter what he makes.

Cuddyer is nowhere close to the Mets worst offensive player. Among players with at least 150 PA, Cuddyer is 5th in wRC+, barely behind Murphy and Tejada and way ahead of players such as Flores, Lagares, Campbell and Plawecki.

Heyman said in his column that the A’s & Mets were previously talking Montero for Zobrist, but the A’s wanted to wait & see how their season was looking and Montero got hurt. Guess if they have a specific list they must think their season is over…unless those prospects would go to the 25-man.

The Red Sox should be “sellers” here in July. Now is not the time for them to be buyers, during the high-priced, heated competition for pieces to make a playoff run. When you are in last place, you sell now, and buy in the off season, when the price to acquire is cheaper and fewer teams are bidding for the limited pieces that are available. The Sox should forget about acquiring anyone until November.

Problem is they’re not really in a good position to sell either. From a record standpoint, yes, but from an organizational standpoint? They’re not trade Xander or Mookie. Nobody else on their MLB roster really has trade value (either big contracts or not productive) and you don’t part with prospects as a seller since you need those to develop and buyers want proven commodities at the deadline.
So basically, they can sell Brock Holt and maybe Uehara, but if they plan on competing next year, Uehara is on a very affordable one year deal.

Red Sox need to accept the fact that they’re not getting Hamels without throwing in Betts or Swihart. No one wants Margot, Owens or Cecchini.

I don’t know that the Sox would do well in trading for Hamels. National league to a tougher American league and all, not to mention that his record hasn’t been good these past 2 1/2 years. Oh, you’ll get your 200 innings out of him, but probably little else worth a big paycheck.

The Mets are not going to make a trade for an outfielder or a shortstop. Can’t see the owners or the GM giving up the system for anyone, unless it’s Harper, Goldschmidt (sorry for spelling) or Trout. San Diego is asking for too much for Upton who won’t be returning to SD or for that matter the Mets next year. He is a rental player but the reality is that he isn’t worth the system!

Enough of this bologna Hamels stuff. Red Sox need to make the Godfather offer to the Reds for Cueto and Chapman, then lock Cueto up. We dont need to hold on to all of these ‘prospects’. We have 2 great youngsters in Bogy at SS and Betts in the OF for a long time, Pedroia is having a good year and is a life time Red Sock. Why are we holding onto Moncada, Margot, Marrero, and Chavis. These positions are already taken! deal them for something we need. And whats the point of having 3 young left handers in the rotation (Owens, Rodriguez, and Johnson) Trade one of em! sheesh!
