Lucroy won’t come cheap. I’m not sure the Mets have the right package to get him. If Wheeler were certain to return healthy, he’d be on Brewers wish list as would Dominic Smith and d’Arnaud..

True. But the Cubs may be willing to listen on Miggy Montero. He’ll come cheaper

?????
Why do the Cubs want to give up their starting catcher?
cubsfan2489
Don’t see the Cubs trading to help the mets
tim815
They’d trade to help themselves. But giving up Montero won’t help themselves.
tim815
But, if dealt enough, they might trade Federowicz.

Are Mets looking for stability behind dish or pop? Would think Tyler Flowers of ATL would be much cheaper. Hell considering last year’s move, ATL would probably give Flowers and KJ (to hold down 1B) for similar package of Gant last year or unload Aybar.

Do the Phillies really not have anyone in the minors who could run into a HR every now and then and hit better than .160?
Niekro
Probably guys sitting at home who could do better Morneau for sure. Even some sluggers from the independent leagues could hit .160 with the threat of a HR

Mets should go for Chris Herrmann– He’s been on fire and probably won’t cost much– maybe like a low ceiling Seth Lugo type.
Gogerty
Been On fire and pre arbitration, he will probably cost a ton so Arizona could recoup from Atlanta deal.

Chances are Trea Turner will be an offensive improvement over Espinosa (though you can’t tell for sure how much of one til he faces major league pitching, and it’ll take him a while to adjust), but not many close Nats observers would agree with Mr. Law that he would represent a defensive improvement. Trea has been a bit shaky, and Espinosa is one of the best–the sharp drop in errors over last year is largely due to having him rather than Ian Desmond at short.

I haven’t seen Trea Turner in the field this year, but generally more errors can be made at the minor league levels.
The infields for the major league parks are exponentially better than minor league infields. So, sometimes errors committed can be a bit misleading, especially the lower you go down the minor league ladder.
I’m not saying that’s the complete reason for any minor leaguers defensive struggles, that plays on the infield, but it is definitely something to take into consideration when looking at the number of errors committed…
By all previously mentioned reports though, and from the extremely small sample size from me seeing Turner in person before he looked very capable.

Red Sox might part with Sandy Leon or Ryan Hanigan if prospects involved
