Grandyman to the Dodgers

Sad.

Grandyman and cash for a PTBNL or cash. Oh fuck it Mets. May as well keep him.

Rene Rivera with him, the twitterverse says. For 3 Ps TBNL. I'm a big fan of Rivera as a backup catcher. Would be happy to see the Mets bring him back in 2018. OE- don't believe everything the twitterverse says. But there's still buzz about Rivera being moved as well as Grandy.

Curtis will go down as one of my all-time favorites. I'll never forget the leadoff homer in Game 5. And so much more. Just a great person.

Has there been any other player who ended his Met career with a grand slam?

Always a first-rate guy. He can't complain about where he ended up.

It's amazing how a market barely exists for all the excess we were holding at the deadline.

smg58 Aug 19 2017 12:07 PM Re: Grandyman to the Dodgers

There were a number of factors. The Dodgers and the Astros reduced the number of buyers, for one thing. A number of teams (the Yankees especially) also made it clear that they wouldn't give up value for two-month rentals. And nobody was more adversely affected by it than the Mets, whose luck on the season was already pretty crummy.

Then I think it will cost each of the acquiring teams 4 million or so for the rental. I guess thats at least 20 million back to help make up for the money the Mets will lose this year. But yeah, I was hoping for better.

Grandy wasted no time getting to his new gig, serving as the DH for the Dodgers in his old haunts of Detroit where he's 0-4 He did wind up at 2nd when his infield pop fell untouched (scored an error) due to wind or sun or incompetence (tough to tell). It came w/2 outs and he scored to break a scoreless tie two hits later. Many ML'ers, including those a decade or more younger, wouldn't have reached 2nd on a play like that; Cespedes might not have reached 1st. Dodgers are, of course, winning.

Always liked Granderson and will have fond memories of his time as a Met. He played hard and seemed to be a strong veteran presence on the club. Never seemed to complain and was always smiling. He truly appeared to enjoy playing the game. He was a class act. Good luck to you and thanks for the memories.

The PTBNL is Jacob Rhame, a AAA reliever with a 55/10 K/BB ratio in 48 IP but also 6 HRs and 4.31 ERA. His overall numbers aren't terrible for the PCL. He comes in on the 40 -- I guess he needed to clear waivers first -- so he'll get an audition in September if not sooner.

A lot of background on Rhame: http://www.thinkbluela.com/2015/02/coul ... xt-closer/

He's right handed, by the way.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 20 2017 07:48 PM Re: Grandyman to the Dodgers

He looks like drinks cruelty-free local craft beers, doesn't he? Reserve a loft for him in Billyburg.

Yabbut, dude is probably packing some meeeeean home-kombucha-fermentation tips in his figurative Herschel backpack. Has anyone been able to track down his girlfriend's animal-babies-dressed-like-dictators Tumblr yet?

Best Mets cartoon avatar since Ty Wigginton and Chief Wiggum.

And thus, "Incrediboy" Rhame is born.

I thought you were leading toward the Syndrome moniker, but I guess it's your call. My name's not "Buddy"!!
