I’m struggling to see how good a left-handed pitcher the Mets could get for Kevin Plawecki straight up. Maybe throw in Dom Smith in a deal and sweeten the pot a little bit.

The Mets Never Made An Offer To Andrew Miller
SNY: The Yankees and Mets are both in the market to beef up their respective bullpens, but neither felt strongly enough to make an offer to left-hander Andrew Miller, according to SNY’s Andy Martino. Miller, 33, signed with the Cardinals on Friday to a two-year, $25 million deal with a vesting option for 2021. The…
Daniel Murphy Agrees to Two-Year, $24 Million Deal with Colorado Rockies
I still held out a little hope that Murphy could come back to the Mets and play…somewhere. But hey, if he wasn’t going to be a Met again, at least he’s out of the NL East and we don’t have to see the Met-killer 19 times a year again.
Mets Introduce Catcher Wilson Ramos
It was a no-brainer adding Ramos. Over the years Plawecki and d’Arnaud were each given too many chances to be ‘The Guy’ behind the plate and for one reason or another, it just never happened.
Mets Have Discussed Signing Infielder Mike Moustakas
NYPost.com: According to an industry source, the Mets last week discussed the idea of Mike Moustakas, a proven lefty bat who would bolster the lineup, but it’s unclear if the veteran infielder remains a possibility after the Ramos addition. Moustakas was discussed as a third-base option who would move Todd Frazier to first, allowing the…

Mets Reach 2-Year Deal with Catcher Wilson Ramos
NYTimes.com: The Mets addressed another one of the areas they targeted for improvement this off-season, reaching an agreement on Sunday with the two-time All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos. The deal is for two years with $19 million guaranteed, according to two people familiar with the negotiations who requested anonymity because the contract was pending Ramos’s medical…
The Mets Should Go Hard After David Robertson
David Robertson is available and the Mets need to go after him. Robertson is a veteran reliever, former closer, knows New York well having had two turns with the Yankees, is exceedingly reliable with only 1 DL stint during his career and a Robertson-Diaz combo at the back of the bullpen could compete with almost…
Mets Interested in A.J. Pollock, Realmuto Rumors
Brodie Van Wagenen: Noah Syndergaard Trade Would Take ‘Very Special Circumstances’
BleacherReport.com: New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen suggested Tuesday that he isn’t looking to trade starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard. According to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, Van Wagenen said it would take “very special circumstances for us to even consider” trading Syndergaard. The 26-year-old Syndergaard is sent to enter his fifth MLB season with the…
Robinson Cano Only Wants To Play 2nd Base
Should The Mets Be Hesitant To Include Jarred Kelenic In A Deal?
Hey, there’s a chance Kelenic could be a superstar, an average journeyman or a bust. Right now without major league experience, I don’t know and I don’t care. Cano and Diaz make the Mets a lot better going into 2019 and we keep Jeff McNeil, so that’s a win-win for me. RELATED: Jarred Kelenic and…
Wilmer Flores Is Now a Free Agent, But Mets Offer Travis d’Arnaud
ESPN.com: The Mets failed to offer a 2019 contract to Wilmer Flores, allowing the infielder to become a free agent. Flores hit .267 with 11 homers and 51 RBI in 126 games this year, when he made $3.4 million. He endeared himself to Mets fans when he got emotional during a game against San Diego…
