Makes sense. Why else would this be going on so long? I wonder what we'd give up here. I hope it's Duda...

some people being who

Dickey - Niese -for- Reyes - D'Arnaud :)

Lol. The whole reason for making this trade is to balance the team for the future. The Mets believe they have young pitching to build around, but they want to have a core middle of the lineup with a player to mash WITH Ike and David. Ike is a better asset than D'Arnaud right now

You really don't get it.

Yeah they might have to give up Francisco or Parnell. Maybe even Duda. My hunch is we're getting both D'Arnaud and Gose for Dickey with other pieces added on each side.

Dickey + Niese = Reyes + D'Arnaud + Gose + Snydergaard

Or hang up the phone. We can't deal 2/5ths of our rotation which includes a Cy Young Award winner and a cheap, signed for long-term solid #2-3 pitcher for just Reyes and D'Arnaud...

bad trade...

If Sandy could pull that off, I'm in. Then I'd try to trade Gose.

why the fu..ck would we trade for reyes

I don't think we would. My suggestion was all in fun.

Because Jose is still a Major League Top-3 shortstop. And Tejada can't bat leadoff. That's why.

Why the potty mouth? It's all in good fun, bro..

That's too much from our end. Add in Gose to that and its fair.

yeah, so why would they trade him to us for a #3 starter?

I would really like an outfielder in the deal, even if we have to trade more from a position of depth...do we have any of those?

no need to include Flores unless we are getting Gose and Sanchez on top of that
