Thelonebillsfan Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Dunn is a nothing prospect btw, in any better system he tops out at 10-12. Relief prospect, won't stick as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still far more money going the Mets way. Even if Cano is far better than Bruce, the problem is the last 2-3 years of the deal. Having said that, I hope the M's aren't eating anything with the change in the reported package now. Kelenic, Dunn, and Bautista is a reasonable package for Diaz. So if the rest is Cano for Bruce + Swarzak then the M's shouldn't need to cover much (if any) of the deal. I still expect they'll pay 5-10 million a year though... because this is the Mariners.

deltarich87 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I don't think this is a bad deal by the Mets at all and am confused why the M's are using Diaz and lessening his value a bit by attaching him in a deal to get out of only HALF of Cano's contract. I like Kelenic as a prospect but the M's could certainly get a more impactful return if they had just traded Diaz in an entirely separate deal(just based off the going rate for stud closers in the trade market over the last few yrs). Diaz is arguably the M's best trade asset and they're cheapening his return. Not the best way to go about with this rebuild of theirs When you take the Bruce/Swarzak contracts into account to offset things these first few years, the Mets are really only taking on 3yr/$36 million on Cano. Granted, it's for his age 38-40 seasons, but that's not something that's gonna hamstring a team from other signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse07 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This has to be one of the dumbest trades I've seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 To be clear, the money aspect is still being worked on, $60M is the high end. If it gets done yeah I'm pissed about losing Kelenic but uh. This has been weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really shouldn't be giving up any money for so little in return. Honestly, if this is the standard rate, I gotta wonder what the Dbacks could get in return for Grienke if they were to eat, effectively, half of the remaining deal.

I'm inclined to throw this deal out when establishing what the baseball market looks like because each team is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
