More context for the Mets’ trade, as noted by rival evaluators: The Mets are paying high prices to fill two positions at which there is currently an absolute saturation of free-agent options — second base and closer.

SLACKISH REACTION: What Buster said.
I don’t like the trade and I am not going to like the trade. I don’t want the 36 year old PED guy. As for closers…you can solve that at the deadline if you have to. And someone tell Wags his manager doesn’t believe in assigned bullpen roles.
As for Flores being non-tendered…whatever. I feel like he had chances to play and never quite clicked in. Nice guy, wish him well, but whatever.
Meanwhile, did you notice over at Prominent Mets Website that they seem to have backed down on the clickbait twitter since one of their executives got publicly irritated at me on Thursday? Coincidence? Anyway, it is a good thing. The last two days of content have been more enjoyable fellas, keep up the good work.
Today is Day 17 of Noah Syndergaard not being traded. Now that I realize we made bad choices at both field manager and general manager I guess it IS possible we trade Syndergaard. Burn the whole thing down guys. Whatever.
