I realize the trade is not yet official, but let's start counting chickens before they hatch.

Obviously his performance in Spring Training will be a large factor, but what are the chances D'Arnaud will be starting next season for the Mets opening day? He has only logged a half season in Triple A, and health has been an issue.

Maybe if he rakes in spring training.

Normally I'd say not likely. But when you trade a CY Young pitcher for a guy that's MLB ready I think the organization has an obligation to their fans to put him out there

Probably little that he starts opening day, more likely 2 weeks after opening day.

if we get buck back in the deal we would be ok i think.
