If Gomez does have a hip issue, I think only a minor operation would be necessary to fix that, considering thag Gomez had been able to play through it.
Cardinals just lost Holliday so they could use him even more. Would love to get Alex Reyes OR Piscotty (if the Brewers think he can play 3B) and some of the Cardinals second-tier pitching prospects. I think it just makes it more likely that the Cards trade for Lind. I think they'll put Piscotty in the OF.
I think the PR [expletive deleted by moderator] will be worse on the Mets' end. The fans wanted a big bat, they heard they were getting a big bat, now they don't have a big bat. At least the Brewers aren't competing this year.
There's conflicting reports now. Morosi says discussions between Mets and Tigers have little traction, while another person says Cespedes to Mets is imminent.
Hope it's not Gomez. I just cannot get excited about any of the Mets prospects. Unless they traded Matz, but I think he's off limits. From what we last heard the Brewers were asking for a king's ransom for Gomez. I doubt that they radically changed their minds. Of course what we view as a king's ransom could differ from how they view it.
Apparently the Mets are working on acquiring a "big bat" and the rumor has momentum. It's also not Cespedes. So it could be either Justin Upton or Carlos Gomez, if I'm not missing anyone. (According to Andy Martino
