Latest On Mets’ Pursuit Of Offense

By charliewilmoth | July 25, 2015 at 3:50pm CDT

At least based on reports, the Mets appear to be one of the busier teams as we approach the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Here’s the latest, mostly via FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal:

  • The Mets tried for Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, but they believe Colorado isn’t interested in a trade.
  • The Mets have also looked into utilityman Ben Zobrist and reliever Tyler Clippard of the Athletics, but it appears likely that the Athletics will find better deals for both players, probably in two different trades.
  • New York discussed sending Zack Wheeler to the Reds in a deal for outfielder Jay Bruce, but talks went nowhere. Andy Martino and Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reported yesterday that the Mets had discussed potential Wheeler deals with multiple clubs.
  • The Mets and Brewers have had talks regarding Gerardo Parra, although it appears that there’s enough interest in Parra that the Brewers’ price has increased. That’s consistent with a tweet this afternoon from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Haudricourt, who wrote that the Brewers have had lots of interest in Parra and will have their choice of various offers.
  • The Mets are also interested in Yoenis Cespedes of the Tigers, but so far, they have nothing to show for it, Marc Carig of Newsday tweets.

    The Bruce for Wheeler deal is a good thought, but I also understand the Reds backing out if they did. Going into 2016 with both your #1 and #2 starters (Bailey, Wheeler) coming back from TJ surgery would leave someone feeling a bit trepidacious to say the least. I think they would rather have a more certain starter even if the upside is not quite as high.

      I agree but considering the Reds won’t be possible contenders for a couple/ few years i feel like it would be a good move, but they would have to give a lesser prospect as well.

      In all fairness, the Reds won’t be built to compete next year, either. They’d be looking at 2017 at the earliest, especially considering how strong and young the Cubs, Pirates, and Cards are.

    I like that the Mets are going for it.

    Going 0 for 5 is not going for it. Going for it is when you actually make a trade.

      How so? The Mets seem to be aggressive but not reckless. This is a good sign. It also lays the ground work for later in the week.

      Teams that are selling aren’t in as big of a hurry as we (Mets) are. When they have players that multiple teams want they can wait until the last minute to make a deal. Like EzRider said its a good sign and its also laying the ground work.

    I’m going to hold on to the slim, slim hope that I’m going to wake up one morning and find that Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval (contracts eaten) have been traded for Zack Wheeler.

    For someone that’s showing to be healthy & no signs of any trouble with his hip, it seems like a perfect time for Colorado to sell on Tulo.

    It seems like the Mets have a list of wants but aren’t prepared to offer anything of value to make a deal.

      Worked just fine so far. Uribe and Kelly Johnson now have the highest OPSs on the team and d’Arnaud has started his rehab assignment and could be ready in a week to 10 days. Those are huge improvements already. For all of that, the Mets have given up two future relievers or back-end starters.

        highest OPS on a team with the 3rd worst OPS in all of baseball? That isn’t saying much, is it?

    Sandy is turning this into brain surgery. Just grab the Brewers GM and ask “How would you like ZACH WHEELER, JUAN LAGARES, and KEVIN PLAWECKI for GOMEZ and PARRA? (Montero in the back pocket if not enough) Zach you control until 2019, and Lagares and Plawekcki are in the infancy of what looks like two pretty good careers, including one Gold Glove already. You don’t want to pay Gomez’s 8M contract in 2016 when you won’t be a contender and he is 32, and Parra you will lose this off-season with NO COMPENSATORY draft pick”…….. Hang up the phone………

    Done, Mets get their franchise LF or RF and CF for the next 6+ years assuming they re-sign Parra which with the 27th highest payroll, I think you can “fit him in, heck Wright’s insurance money would pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!
    And anyone on the Lagares bandwagon, he is on deck for a second surgery on his arm and this times it’s the elbow, so he possibly won’t be around until 2017 anyway.
