    Wong is a good bunter and is second on the team in sacrifice hits. The thing is - bunting isnt easy

    Find a post where I “pawned off” Duran. Whether or not the Sox want to love Yoshida wasn’t even remotely thr question that you (naturally) completely avoided. Not that I expected an actual answer…

    Agreed, outside of the WAPM (inside joke), all projection models are flawed. BTV isn’t definitive and never claims to be. But it has enhanced trade talk significantly…

    I never said I would “pawn off” either one. I do consider both to be available due to deoth at each’s respect position. Duran, however, is a definite “sell low” candidate right now. If I were a Mets’ fan, a team that just traded away Nimmo and watched it help crater the offense, I could absolutely get behind buying low on Duran. Now tell me as the self-appointed Voice of Reason - why is it you think Sox players with expensive contracts like Story and Yoshida are completely unwanted around the league, but Lindor, who himself has struggled, is roughly the same age, but is more expensive for far more years than either Sox players - is strongly desired by Mets’ fans and impossible to pry away from them?

    Right. Well thank you for being the pulse of Met Nation along with Red Sox Nation and the One True Voice of Baseball Fandom…

    You mean that 75 year old guy that dates teenagers?

    A surprising number of real trades di meet their model. of course a more surprising number of people claim BTV is wrong because they feel they better understand player valuations…

    Now you speak for Mets’ fans, too?Im not surprised Mets don’t want to deal Lindor. Right or wrong course of action, they just dropped three quarters of a billion on Soto and didn’t do so to rebuild in year two of that deal. And while Lindor’s contract is bad, it’s not the worst on the team. Semien and Manaea are both worse. And maybe another deal or two are as well. But that wasn’t the question. The question you posed was “if I was a Mets’ fan, would I like that trade for Lindor?” And I answered it exactly as it was asked. Of course the Mets are not averse to shedding the occasional questionable contract, like Nimmo. And they were willing to move him for a worse deal that was shorter term. So maybe you don’t speak for the Mets as well as they do…

    Where I grew up it was the opposite. We had a McDonalds for years at one end of town. BK finally got a franchise and set up at the opposite side of town. McDonald’s put up a second restaurant across the street from the new BK within a year. And this town was not big enough for two McDonalds. Still isn’t….

    Mayer is a very low risk shortstop. If he doesn’t pan out, it’s not a big deal to replace him. And his pedigree is good enough that his first 350 career PA are probably not definitive. So yes, if I were a Mets fan and could trade Lindor from ages 33-38 for Mayer, I do it. Quickly. And getting former All Star Duran, two prospects, plus over $100mill in payroll freed up? What the f*** is there not to like for Mets’ fans?

    Is this guy related to the unknighted Anthony Volpe I was watching butcher routine grounders against the Phillies last night? The Yankees do not appreciate him, this much appears to be true. And I think he gets moved in the next week, with the Braves atop the list of destinations…

    Pablo Sandoval? Bogaerts did play SS in Boston with Breslow. 10 out of 10 points for nostalgia. But if the issue is Story might be too weak to pair with Mead up the middle, Bogaerts feels more like another problem as opposed to a solution…
  19. notin
    And you want to trade with the Yankees!!? Volpe will be a Brave in 7 days. Or a Met. Book it…

    Does he have a name you are legally allowed to reveal?

    I like the idea. Even if they do it unconventionally and skip either Tolle or Bennett each time through the rotation…

    Doubtful Lindor is as expensive as that. His remaining 5 yrs $160mill does reduce his value. You can argue BTV isn’t accurate, but does that mean you say you are? BTV thoroughly despises this trade for Boston as they surrender $68mill in surplus value for $8mill, and that’s after NY includes the $20mill. Plus why? Sox don’t need a long term solution at SS. So why take on an expensive and declining one?

    Monasterio and Romy are redundant. I would demote Monasterio first. But Monasterio has been painting a different picture lately. But bear in mind, the entire point of demoting a player is so that you get to keep everyone…

    Hey, I prefer Cheng right now. But when Story gets activated, it won’t be to watch Cheng, Mayer or Monasterio play his position. I suppose Breslow could just never activate Story. But I doubt he thinks so nefariously…

    We’re most likely looking at a Story-Mead middle infield. Is Neto really a step down?
