Mets would be crazy to deal Syndegaard for Gomez. But then again the Mets do make plenty of perplexing personnel moves This is where the whole trade world gets crazy. When you are looking at mega-talented players, it's tough to figure out the value, and no one wants to be the loser on a deal like this. I don't think it's "crazy" to think that a proven MVP-caliber player with 1.5 years left on a ridiculously low contract should get elite value in return, but I also agree that Syndergaard has tremendous value. Gomez could be a good mid-season trade candidate, as he's the type of player that could get GM's and owners salivating, and also worried that their competition would get him. It's their shot at a franchise-altering deal, so I just hope that if they do trade Gomez they don't blow it. The Mets got Wheeler for a half season of Carlos Beltran. I'm not sure how Wheeler and Syndergaard match up but Gomez has oodles more value than Beltran did at the time.
