Over under on how many days until Ike is traded now?

Next to zero chance before the deadline, however many days that is. I’m still not sold that Lucas Duda will be able to unseat Davis if Davis returns to anything even remotely resembling the form he was in during the last half of 2012.

At the same time, if Duda starts in AAA (both of them actually still have 1 option left), there’s a good chance he’d rake enough to be part of a fairly significant trade. Keeping in mind the looming 40-man roster crunch the Mets have at the end of this year, a blockbuster trade is in the cards.

Great question. I think Sandy’s going to be justified in holding onto him, though. Ike’s a better player than we saw in the previous two first halves even if he’s not the same player we saw in the previous two second halves. He’s worth more than a middling relief pitcher, though, which is why Alderson hasn’t moved him already.
