• BK & Domo - exactly right. And yes, I accepted the trade after the incident with the throwback unis (you can't make that up) happened. So another risk. And Matz pitched great today fwiw.

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 5:43 PM

• I love the competitive nature of everyone. There is a veto option that people can use if they so choose. who knows when Sale may pitch for Kang since he just got suspended....

  Raganomics on July 24, 2016 5:04 PM

• If you disagree with the trade go ahead and veto it.

  The Bronx Empire on July 24, 2016 2:47 PM

• Look, nothings going to change at this point so have your last word. I'll agree to disagree on this issue.

  BomboRivera on July 24, 2016 12:31 PM

• King, you just used your influence to have two owners reverse a trade they agreed to. You can't have it both ways.

  BomboRivera on July 24, 2016 12:27 PM

• To give an example I personally thought trade 22538 was a terrible, one-sided trade in favor of the guy directly behind me in the standings, but I didn't object or do anything to block it. Two owners exercising their judgment on what was fair. Not my role to substitute my judgement on that. I don't think we've ever had 7 votes to veto a trade ever, either. That's the process if you don't like a trade

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 12:00 PM

• Bombo - no trades have been blocked.

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 11:52 AM

• Very bummed that Scott is leaving us, though. Not only do we lose a good guy, but we all have to deal with Anand!

  Chief Justices on July 24, 2016 11:12 AM

• Plus, Sale just went all Edward Scissorhands on us and has a 4.87 ERA in his last 10 starts. I'm hoping he really gets distracted and sticks for King - we need lots of help to get back in it!

  Chief Justices on July 24, 2016 11:11 AM

• I agree with Strawberry on this one. First reaction to seeing one of the rental trades is that someone got robbed because a big name star goes one direction for young, cheap guys, but it's the way to rebuild. Sano wins next year once Sale is gone, especially if the Mets don't kill Matz.

  Chief Justices on July 24, 2016 11:10 AM

• For what it's worth, I think Sano and King's trade is fine and is a typical late season rental for "potential" -- I've done these trades in the past and I'm looking for one this year with the hopes of catching JD (bring any offers for stud SPs to me!)

  The Life of Riley on July 24, 2016 10:30 AM

• Also, very odd timing that Sano would resign right after this trade is announced...

  BomboRivera on July 24, 2016 9:29 AM

• I still don't like it at all. Matz has lost 5 in a row, his ERA has gone from 2.39 to 3.56 during that time. Reports I've heard is that he could've opted for surgery now or try and pitch through this until the end of the season. Well, we've seen how that's worked so far. Who knows on Stewart? Obviously the Dodger's (who need starting pitching) opted for retread Bud Norris over him for now. I think if you let this go through, we let ALL trades go through. No objections when two teams agree

  BomboRivera on July 24, 2016 9:23 AM

• Plus it's a trade between 2 contenders. Not exactly in SANO's interest to help me, which is what you have implied.

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 8:26 AM

• At $11, he's still a keepable young arm with upside. Naquin, who you disparage, has a strong track record in the minors of doing what he's doing now (over .380 wOBA in AA, and over .360 wOBA in AAA). He's a bargain for $1 and they asked for him (I wanted to give them a different OF). Stewart is a MLB ready arm who is performing very well in the hitter friendly PCL. This trade is fine. Vote to veto it if you don't like it.

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 8:23 AM

• Bombo - Please. Of all of the trades to object to you pick this one, but were fine w/the trade involving Harvey who was on the DL and heading for season ending surgery while the trade was pending? Sale is a rental - at best I get 10-12 starts from him, but he's too expensive to keep. For that I give up a good young SP who has bone spurs in his elbow and is trying to pitch through it (as does Syndergaard for that matter, and is what Waino did a couple of years ago). (tbc)

  Cruzship on July 24, 2016 8:21 AM

• I officially tender my resignation from Gm of Dare to Sano effective immediately. I have decided to devote more time to my family. Thank you.

  Bazzball! on July 24, 2016 7:34 AM

• Hold on, on that trade. A pitcher whose arm is hanging by a thread, a rookie who had his first hot streak and a pitcher sent back to the minors for sale and crisp? Seriously?

  BomboRivera on July 23, 2016 10:21 PM

• The mets filled Harvey's place on their 25-man mlb roster. That isn't the issue. They probably don't want to add anyone to their 40-man roster because once they add a player to it then it becomes harder to move them back to minors, etc. Kershaw looks to be definitely out for the year - just a question of whether he needs surgery.

  Cruzship on July 23, 2016 12:18 PM

• I can't understand why they'd keep a roster spot for a guy who's most definitely done for the season. Kershaw's still a maybe. A weak maybe, but a maybe nonetheless. Why the Mets wouldn't bring someone -- anyone -- up to fill a dead spot is strange. Of course, it's the Mets, so that could be it's own explanation.

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on July 23, 2016 11:54 AM

• JA - teams normally wait to put players on the 60-day until they are forced to for roster reasons. I'm guessing the Mets just haven't been forced to do that. Dodgers in same boat w/Kershaw for example

  Cruzship on July 23, 2016 11:48 AM

• Anyone have an insight into why Harvey is on the 15 day DL and not the 60? My google-fu is weak.

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on July 23, 2016 11:44 AM

• Bombo, looks like you in fact had 50+ points batting and positive points pitching

  Cruzship on July 23, 2016 11:39 AM

• Well now the points are added. Bombo - wowza, I think that is a first

  Cruzship on July 23, 2016 11:37 AM

• Well, I had negative points on Friday night, unfortunately that's attributed to both my hitters AND pitchers. Another first.

  BomboRivera on July 23, 2016 8:37 AM

• Guys, is it only me or did the points from yesterday not get added to our totals?

  Cruzship on July 23, 2016 7:39 AM

• It is amazing how your hitters can turn on a dime. My guys were smoking going into the All-Star break and since can't buy a hit. Tonight theyre 0-15, with zeros all the way across. Haven't seen that before.

  BomboRivera on July 21, 2016 9:15 PM

• JD - hey, but at least you started Ryan Schimpf when he hit two dingers!

  Cruzship on July 21, 2016 1:41 PM

• I picked a bad day not to check my lineup - 2 OF missing, and Hanley sits on my bench with his 3 HR. Oops

  Chief Justices on July 20, 2016 10:04 PM

• Done

  Cruzship on July 18, 2016 9:22 PM

• Please go ahead and cancel the trade.

  Taking Back Santo on July 18, 2016 8:54 PM

• Yes I can if both owners ask

  Cruzship on July 18, 2016 8:42 PM

• Can you cancel the trade? I dropped Beltre to get salary cap room.

  The Bronx Empire on July 18, 2016 8:28 PM

• Honestly this makes no sense. Cut Beltre, then trade a top RP for chase Headley who's not even a top 30 3B?

  Cruzship on July 18, 2016 6:50 PM

• Is today moving day or something? What's with all of the cuts?

  Cruzship on July 18, 2016 5:39 PM

• Ok, that was a bit painful, but 3 1/2 months of nothing and I had to cut somewhere. Thanks for your services in the past, McCutch!

  BomboRivera on July 18, 2016 8:50 AM

• Dang All-Star break! My hitters have been smoking the last several days. I've even left three homeruns on the bench today.

  BomboRivera on July 10, 2016 6:13 PM

• Wow, the Cubs are in a free fall! The Pirates are on their way to winning again today. If they do, they'd have picked up nine games in the standings over the last 11. Kinda reminds me of the '78 Bosox, who led the Yanks by 14 1/2 games in August. People referred to it as the Red Sox trying to catch the second place Yanks.

  BomboRivera on July 10, 2016 2:44 PM

• As all Mets & Cubs pitching implodes at the same time, and with Kershaw out indefinitely, that won't last.

  Cruzship on July 9, 2016 11:07 PM

• Don't know if you caught the Fangraphs rankings article, but our very own King Kang has been a fixture in thentop 10 of ALL teams! He was 7th as of the end of June. Congrats on a great first half!

  Chief Justices on July 9, 2016 2:16 PM

• Rumor: Cubs pitchers will pitch home run derby next week.

  Raganomics on July 8, 2016 8:06 PM

• Classy move in any case, Jeurys

  BomboRivera on July 7, 2016 2:49 PM

• It is amazing. I did offer to JA to reverse the trade, but he stuck with it. A man of honor, he is.

  Chief Justices on July 7, 2016 2:41 PM

• Wow that didn't take long - Harvey to DL before the trade even went through

  Cruzship on July 7, 2016 2:08 PM

• The Cubs got one big beat down last weekend. Let's see how they respond with the lowly Reds.

  Chief Justices on July 4, 2016 1:48 PM

• If you were in New York yesterday, those weren't fireworks; that's what a Mets explanation point sounds like!!!

  Raganomics on July 4, 2016 12:53 PM

• Lester is no Hamel, get that weak -49 out of here. This weekend is shaping up to be a mini Mets version of the '78 Yankees "Boston Massacre" in Fenway. What fun that was.

  BomboRivera on July 3, 2016 2:57 PM

• At least Lester hasn't given up 5 HR's yet. Let's see if Cubs can score 7+runs against Syndergard to avoid a sweep

  Raganomics on July 3, 2016 1:57 PM

• Sharks's trade block has been updated!

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on July 3, 2016 1:22 PM

• Domo could be onto something. Arrieta has given up a walk, dong and double now in the first inning.

  BomboRivera on July 2, 2016 7:34 PM
