brewers havent seemed that interested in d'arnaud or wheeler in lucroy talks. 35 minutes to go.

 

Shocking. That is because Stearns is smart

[pacopete4]

I have a dentist appointment at 2:50. How freaking horrible is that?

 

Not only will I miss any news, but if something happens, I will have 100 pages to read through when I get home.

 

UGH!

 

Maybe they will be running behind.

Tell mets, Texas has Gallo on table..... Rosario + or you are out

[MrTPlush]

Olney says Mets are OUT.

[Warning Track Power]

[MilwaukeesBest]

Olney says Mets are out on Lucroy.

 

Again.

[yoyomayoma]

Olney says Mets out on Lucroy.

[And That]

Olney says Mets are OUT.

Third time's the charm?

[B2k1121]

Olney says Mets are OUT.

I'm sure they'll be back in in 15 minutes.

[Boomer5]

Looks like a Gallo deal makes more sense since they picked up Beltran.

 

One for one w Luc wouldn't be great. If they want us to include JJ, they had better empty the farm after seeing the Smith heist.

[mattyo]

Ok Mets are out.......so its Rangers or no one? Starting to get worried

[dlk9s]

Now that the Mets are out, hopefully my "lucroy" Twitter search will calm down. It's been cluttered with Mets fans begging for Lucroy all day.

[MrTPlush]

om‏ @Haudricourt

Sure seems like Rangers or bust unless truly is mystery team.

[3and2Fastball]

Anybody else got butterflies?

 

My assistant just came in to check to see if I was done with something. LOL.

 

I just put a note on my door informing my staff that I'm unavailable until 3:00.

 

Love it!!!

 

Mets trying to get back in on Lucroy now? Give us Conforto

[mikepot53565]

My gut feeling is a Lucroy trade won't get done. I hope I am wrong.

[3and2Fastball]

I've heard that Jeffrey Luhnow and David Stearns know each other pretty well.... just saying

[thumperden]

It's not like the Mets are raising their bid in this auction. Go away Mets.

[yoyomayoma]

Still hoping the Astros get in on the action.

[gregmag]

After the Indians fiasco, holding him until the winter makes somewhat more sense than it did before. Recovering from a busted trade like we did last year requires massive luck as well as skill.

[thumperden]

I'm hoping the Red Sox get involved too.

[3and2Fastball]

last half hour = somebody needs to step up to the plate and overpay

[tmwiese55]

If you're getting almost as much for relievers than you are for the #2 catcher in the world, then maybe just trade all three relievers and worrying about Lucroy in the offseason isn't the worst move? Maybe even just give him a reasonable extension if no one will give what he's worth.

[Ennder]

It is really hard to trade a player in the last year of their contract. For a player of his quality you likely have to find a team willing to sign him long term. It isn't impossible but he loses a ton of value if he isn't traded today.

I really hope they are working the Jeffress and Thornburg moves at least as much as Luc.
