Re: Uber Kluber

Kluber is older and more expensive. If it means trading Noah, I’d keep Noah.

Short of that I don’t know what we have left to trade.

Getting a little tired of hearing Noah's name pop up in stories
like the Mets are hell bent on moving him. Makes no sense.

What if BVW thinks he knows, better than anyone else, that it's likelier than not that there's a TJ surgery in Syndergaard's future?

Re: Uber Kluber

Sure, but we can come up with a dozen what-ifs. The starting pitching on the
Mets is the strong point. If they want to add an uberkluber fine, but moving one
of the best pitchers seems pointless to me unless they get bowled over with return.

Or unless Syndergaard's ulnar collateral is hanging by a thread.

All I'm saying is we don't know everything. Maybe BVW has another team lined up for Cano, and this is all part of a larger work in progress.

He will be subjected to a physical by whatever team tries to trade for him. If the trade goes through, his UCL is not hanging by a thread.

That's a disappointing article in that the author doesn't even pretend to have a clue what the Mets would be offering.

I know. So take off your Mets cap and put on your Indians cap and tell us what you think the Indians would realistically want for Kluber.

Re: Uber Kluber

The Indians outfield is a mess, so I've read Conforto and Nimmo are candidates, and saw somewhere else Jeff McNeil's name thrown around. Now way the Mets do this without thinking of flipping Noah for youngins to replenish the farm and for a guy like Manuel Margot to replace the outfielders lost. I just don't see the point here.

Trading Noah makes perfect sense if you assume that the front office hates their own team's fans.

Which I'm pretty confident they do, so there's that.

Re: Uber Kluber

If BVW is indeed hell-bent on trading Noah, that tells me he knows something about him that we don't.
