Lindor & Carrasco to the Mets for Giménez, Rosario & 2 Prospects

Mets new owner is trying hard to endear himself to the fanbase. If they don't have an extension lined up right away this could be a terrible decision.

Curious if this is going to be in addition to or in lieu of one of Springer/Bauer

Not Bauer clearly

Sorry, Tom. At least you’ll get to see Lindor play the Cubs more often.

Just to put the whole thing in one tweet...

So with this deal the Mets don't need both of McNeil and Rosario right?

 

It's a major splash for them now yes but they could end up missing Gimenez quickly if Lindor hits the market.

Rosario is reportedly in the deal as well.

Further proof that a guy like Kyren Paris is probably best case scenario for Contreras. Marsh isn't going anywhere and probably not Adams either.

This is a very Cleveland trade. Gimenez as the headliner is kindaweak, but it still nets out pretty wellfrom a dollars/WAR standpoint. Cleveland are obsessed with the "portfolio approach."

Rosario in this deal turns it from a coup for the Mets to a solid deal by the Indians IMO

Looks like it might be more than just close.

I get it from Cleveland's sake, but I really wonder what other offers were out there. I mean, they get cost certainty for the middle infield for the next couple of years, giving them a bit more flexibility in decision making. That said, Gimenez is ... well, I don't know if he's going to be much more than what we see. Rosario - I just don't know if he ever puts it together. Wolf and Greene are both high upside guys, but both come with some level of risk. Just because it's Cleveland, we'll get the stories about their ability to work with mechanics (I believe I read one already) and young toolsy assets, but it doesn't always click, for lack of a better term.

 

It's an understandable deal from their side, but I think. on paper, this is just solid win for the Mets. They, at the very least, have a year to convince Lindor to stay and shower him with Cohen money. If they can get the assets around him, it opens a window of 3-5 years in a tough division where all teams have some reasonable arguments for positive outlooks for the next 5 years (I mean, the Nationals might have the weakest on-paper long term outlook, and they have Juan Soto to build around). Carrasco bolsters the short term run, and they don't really rip apart anything on their long term outlook in a major way (obviously, Greene and Wolf are significant, but you give up those assets in these types of deals.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Lindor just got 10/341 from the Mets

 

What do we need to give Seager this winter? J/k there's no way the Dodgers don't lock him up right?

Someone check in on Tom. The dream is done.
