If anyone is short on time/doesn’t want to read too much, at least read the final paragraph of the Trout article. It really puts his greatness into a neat perspective.

As a Mets fan I’d do Wheeler for Mejia and Quantrill
sdpadsfan11
Wheeler is a rental. Padres should just wait until he is a free agent.
How about Mejia, Logan Allen, Hudson Potts, and two throw ins for Thor.

Too much for an injury risk.

2 and a half years of Thor would require better pieces than Meija and Allen.
Mets say no.
SalaryCapMyth
The Padres should say no too. Two top prospects and a 20 year old wild card can’t nab a struggling Syndagaard if the Mets should chose to rebuild?
Walk away Preller.
