No just from an economics point of view they would want to keep Ike and Duda (both making the league minimum)
and trade Wright ($16M per year) and Bay ($18.5M per year) and of course Santana ($26M per year).

Personally I think they will keep Wright (and extend his contract) assuming he's healthy and plays well the next 2 seasons, and of course Bay and Santana only have 2 more years left on their contracts even if the Mets can't trade them before then.

i dont....i think if anything it is aimed at trading duda

ike davis will be the center cog in the next championship caliber team that we put on the field...he's not going anywhere...no where in our system is there a 1b as natural and promising as davis...in fact, i dont think there is a position player above single A that I think will be better

however, if you look through our system, we are loaded w/ guys that could play a corner of position and give you offensive output...i wouldnt mind seeing duda stay w/ the team but i think there is a much greater chance that he is moved than ike

also, IF they traded davis....well i would 100% lose all confidence in this front office...and id probably refuse to g to a home game until they were gone...(luckily i live in la and can watch the mets play w/o supporting them)

i think, if they are going to extend wright, they should do it now while his value is at his lowest

i actually believe he would be willing to sign a contract that extends 4 seasons beyond 2012 at a total additional value of 50 mil

I'd keep Ike and Duda, and maybe even Murphy and Wright (if he plays well the next 2 seasons)
the Mets have always been an anemic hitting teams (yeah right now they could use some more pitching but they got Harvey, Wheeler, Familia, and Mejia and a couple of other good pitching prospects on the Farm, so I think they will be ok in Pitching in a couple years so there's no reason to make the offense any more anemic by trading any of their better hitters for more pitching prospects (at least right now).

i'm not sure the organization is pumping him up as much as the media is....Alderson and Collins have praised his potential but no one has said he's a can't miss star

i hope they don't trade him....lets let him spend a full season with us before we trade him somewhere and watch him hit 30 hrs for another team

i actually agree

ive said all along offer wright an extension to cover 2013-2016 at a total of 50 mil guaranteed (2013-10 mil, 2014 - 10 mil, 2015-12 mil, 2016-13 mil - 2017 mutual option for 15 mil, 5 mil team buyout, becomes player option w/ certain milestones achieved)

im just saying that id RATHER see them keep ike than duda if i can only keep one

I've heard the same thing about Murphy fir the past 3 years

You're right in general. I don't think Davis is going because he still has to work for food, but Wright's probably gone...especially if he's having a decent year. Naturally the owners want the gullible to believe they have something worth watching, thus the hype on a very flawed player.

i think it has more to do with trying to get the fans somewhat excited about the season. being positive and upbeat. which every team is this time of year.

I hope not, its better they keep him and trade Davis for pitching

...or trading Duda.

Ike Davis will not be traded -- he hits too well and Alderson really values defense.

So are they also ordering the Media to hype up his bullpen sessions? And did Wilpon tell Ike Davis to tell Mike Francesa that he believes Duda is a better hitter than he is?

Duda is an exciting new player and let's not forget the Mets are promoting Duda to sell tickets! Why would the brass discourage mid-season game ticket sales by trading away talented, low salaried players? Wright will not be traded since the owners like him. ... and Wright is a reason why some fans come to the ballpark to watch him play!

>> they are utterly with morals<<

I know, right!?

Do you think that the organization is pumping up Duda so they can trade wright / davis and still claim that they have someone worth watching in Duda?

They may trade Wright but not Davis. Why would they trade Davis he is a big part of the Mets offense.

Didn't Alderson already offer up Jonathon Niese and Ike Davis for a possible trade this winter or was that just a false rumor ? Doesn't look like anyone is off the table , but they really need to trade for new owners since the plan for rebuilding will eventually call for spending on free agents and with the huge loans Wilpon has due in 2014 and 2015 he ain't gonna have any money to spend for quite awhile !

The Ike Davis part is false, it was originally thought to be him but it was Niese he was open to trading.
