8:46pm: The Giants and Mets are believed to be discussing a deal that would send Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez to New York for Angel Pagan, tweets Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News. That would match up with the two-for-one rumors, and Torres and Pagan qualify as "change of scenery" players as well.
8:33pm: Hot on the heels of their agreement with Jon Rauch, the Mets have a multi-player trade in the works, tweets MLB Network's Jon Heyman. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter) describes the deal as a "change of scenery" trade both ways, and says the Mets are going to receive two players in exchange for one. Joel Sherman of the New York Post (Twitter link) hears that the move will net the Mets another reliever.
MURPHY PLEASSSSEEE!
Hopefully it’s a good deal and the players traded to the other team won’t come back to haunt the Mets.
Mets, sit down. Wait until the Pujols thing is over, come on now.
(But seriously, who could they be trading that would be need a “change of scenery”? Jason Bay?)
Mike Minor and Prado for David Wright?
ESPN is reporting Ned Colletti is in the works for a trade to upgrade the offense. I hope the Dodgers are getting David Wright!!!
Where did you hear this ??
ESPN I think….kidding.
doubt the dodgers have the prospects to get wright
Yeah, and bring in a 6th infielder to the team.
Jason Bay for Alex Rios.
We can only wish.
who the mets or sox because i can see both sides thinking that
Both, but mostly the Sox. That contract is an albatross.
ha so is bays….rios has one more than bay but the total amount left is roughly the same
Bay has a chance to perform and return to his old power form if he ever got out of Citi Field, where HR go to die. Rios is what he always was.. An over paid fringe player.
oddly enough it could very well be that….I would be the sox would probably have to throw in beckham, which As a sox fan I would honestly be ok with…money is very similar….bay is owed more per year but rios has one extra year on the deal
Interesting.
I don’t like growrice
Hopefully they traded David Wright.
Bay or Pelfrey.
The way I read it, Rauch was part of this multi-player trade with “another RP on the way”.
Rauch was a free agent. Not a trade.
leave him alone thats just how he read it
He just scrambled the words and read it like that
Pelfrey or David Wright!
Please be Andy Dirks + Ryan Raburn for Daniel Murphy!
Dirks + Perry
I think pelfrey for affeldt and ramirez
Houston Street for Murphy?
Bailey for Bay?
Soria for RA Dickey?
lol lol lol
Dude are you serious??? None of what you just said makes sense….
cocaine’s a helluva drug
Maybe if the Mets packaged those three players they could get Street. But hell, that package wouldn’t even be enough for Bailey or Soria lol.
2 for 1’s are always nice
It’s w/ the Phillies. Placido Polanco and Jose Contreras for David Wright. HA!
For the Met’s sake, I hope it’s Jon Rauch
I’m guessing Murphy to the Tigers
WAIT, ILL CALL IT
Gio Gonzalez and Andrew Bailey for David Wright.
I take that Back Andy Dirks + David Pauley for David Murphy
David Murphy is on the Rangers. And I’m positive Texas has no need for those two players.
David Murphy is on the Rangers. And I’m positive Texas has no need for those two players.
Johan Santana vs John Danks + Chris Sale?
you cant be serious right? I know Kenny seems like he has lost his mind in recent years but why would he trade Danks and Sale for old, injured incredibly expensive Santana? Even if Johan was to only cost the sox 1mill a season i wouldnt do that deal
Jake Westbrook and Kyle Loshe to Mets = Alberts new offer
Something with Matt Thornton and the White Sox?
how many change of scenary guys do we have? pelfrey, paulino pagan gotta be one of those guys right?
hmm…perhaps with the Tigers…where there is smoke…
David Wright for Juan Oviedo
bailey?
I saw change of scenery and I thought maybe, just maybe, Soriano was on his way out. Wishful thinking. Can’t see it happening.
Change of scenery and a reliever? How about Chone Figgins and Brandon League for David Wright with Seattle picking up a great deal of Figgy’s salary?
In that case, I’d pity David Wright. Going to another homer killer stadium just when the walls at Citi Field are being moved in! But I don’t see why the Mariners would do that trade…
Pelfry or Bay?
Jason Bay (and cash) to Seattle for Chone Figgins and one of the Mariners’ young RPs (not Brandon League).
Bay back to Boston to play RF ;)
Alfonso Soriano for Jason Bay?
For Mets fans sake, hopefully it’s Jon Rauch they’re trading
lol
Figgins and League for Bay…… I swear to god I read all of the other posts on this except the ones that already mention this trade.
I don’t think the M’s will include League in the deal for Bay. League would be the most valueable piece in that trade. Bay+cash/Figgins+RP makes a lot of sense though.
hopefully its to the tigers and they get either daniel murphy or david wright
Its not going to be a division trade. i think that Murphy for like a middle reliever guy and a SS, like a Plan B SS guy.
AA loves multi team trades
I am guessing Bay for Rios and Thornton.
no way mets take on rios’s contract..
bays and rios’ contracts are almost the exact same left
rios ’12 12 mi ’13 12.5mill ’14 12.5mill ’15 13.5 mill club option with 1 mill buy out
Bay ’12 16 mill ’13 16mill ’14 17mill club option 3 mill by out
rios owed 37 mill including by out
bay 35mill including buy out…
Cardinals will trade Kyle McCellen for Angel Pagan and cash then deal.
that would be jawsome!!!!!
THE METS ARE NOT TRADING DAVID WRIGHT NOW
Maybe Matt Garza or Wade Davis or Kevin Youklis?
Gotta be Pelf for Street and another player!
I sure hope that it would be Raburn and Pauley to the Mets for Murphy! That would be tremendous for the Tigs!
I was hoping that as well but we’re not that lucky
Now that I think about it?
What about the Cubs and Zambrano, hence “Change of scenery”
David Wright for Juan Uribe and Javy Guerra.
I told you to stop drinking.
Thornton and Gordon Beckham for something?
zito and ramirez for bay
Carlos Zambrano and Alfonso Soriano plus three Brinks’ trucks full of cash for Mike Pelfrey.
do you think Soriano can still play 2nd?
I’m sure he could play 2nd.. he could possibly also pitch or catch at this state of his career.
haha no.
he can hardly play left field
Jose Reyes
Simon & Simon for Cagney & Lacey
Obviously it’s Torres and Ramon Ramirez for Pagan.
It has to be Bay
I say its Bay for Soriano and Cashner/Marmol
As a met fan id do wright for gio and bailey , maybe 1 prospect and we throw in murphy
Im hearing Pagan for Torres and Rameriez from our beat guy. Not confirmed tough
I’d be for that. Previous reports had the Mets interested in the Tigers Andy Dirks for CF. I would love to see a swap of Dirks + Prospect for Daniel Murphy. Go Tigers!
That would be incredibly dumb on the Mets part.
Wouldn’t be the first time =)
People still don’t get that the Mets are not in the Omar Minaya era anymore.
Omg im so anxious . Cant lie
Don’t be, it’s Torres + Ramirez for Pagan. Nothing to write home about.
Just heard it breaking it here
The mets have traded Wright to Angels in a deal involving Wells and Scott Downs
Nope more like Wright to the Dodgers for Ethier & Lindbloom LOL
Bay to Colorado for Street and Smith?
Bay to Cleveland might make sense.
im thinking pagan to giants for torres and ramirez
how about pagan for skip and kyle mcclellan?
Angels have been linked to the Mets via trade the last few days and Dipoto canceled all his interviews today. Macier/Walden for Wright?
Especially because ANgels have been linked to League and Madson.
gordon beckham+brent morell+one more prospect or two for wright and cash
I, personally, don’t think that the player being traded by the Mets is Murphy (Mets value him too much) or Wright (trade value is too low; if traded it will be at the earliest next season’s trade deadline). The only two players I can think are due a change in scenery are Jason Bay (highly doubtful; he can net more at the trade deadline along with David) and Mike Pelfrey (Mets fans will tell you he can use a change of scenery ASAP).
EDIT: Wow, Pagan is the trade candidate? I’m quite shocked.
Pagan for Torres and Ramirez saves Mets 2-3 mil. Remember, Pagan was a non-tender candidate due to arbitration raise. Ramirez signed for 1.65 and Torres for 2.2
torres was also a non tender candidate.
well if that is true,, to say it would SUCK would be an understatement.
Kyle Mccellen and Jake Westbrook for Angel Pagan and David Murphy and Tim Byrdak then deal.
Interesting trade talks.
Well that’s not very exciting.
If it is Pagan then that would force Belt and Huff to Platoon at 1st/outfield base because i dont think you’re going to get rid of Nate Shierholtz in right field (defense). Either way i think its a good deal for both teams with the other team (Mets) coming out on the upside, but whats new? Pagan’s obp, and slugging have all gone down the past 3 years. The only thing i find interesting in Pagan is his stolen bases, but how can you steal bases when you dont get on base? Torres and Ramirez are worth more than Angel Pagan but at least the giants are getting SOME offense i guess?
Dude, take this from a Met fan, Pagan Sucks. Hes a decent defensive player, but he gets hurt A LOT and is very inconsistent. Have fun!
The mets are not trading wright at this moment I can tell you that for sure.. I can see big pelf going Santana going Murphy r.a dickey but not bay. Not when they just moved the fences I’n. And if wright does get traded it won’t be till July
If you are going to trade for Wright you better start with Top Prospects, not the fringe Major Leaguers most of you are suggesting. Mets are in rebuild mode when it comes to trading, not let’s get by mode.
