Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Frayed Knot Jul 28 2019 04:13 PM

News just breaking, no deets yet although this apparently does NOT involve Syndergaard. Stayed tuned to this station for further updates.

Frayed Knot Jul 28 2019 04:18 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Stroman is, of course, a local boy -- Patchogue-Medford HS by way of Duke U. (and he actually graduated!) Can be a FA following the 2020 season Is 6-11 this season although with a sub-3.00 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP Was 8th in CY voting in 2017 before having a rough 2018 And he's short (5' 7")

Benjamin Grimm Jul 28 2019 04:22 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Hopefully the guy going back to Toronto is Cano. (Yeah... I know...)

bmfc1 Jul 28 2019 04:23 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I like him but he's a contact pitcher who will now have a bad defense behind him.

Edgy MD Jul 28 2019 04:30 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

The t'ing is ... has the play since the break put the message in that the Mets should be muscling up, rather than shedding parts? Or is Stroman just coming in to fill the spot of Synderwheeler when he gets dealt off?

duan Jul 28 2019 04:32 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I've always liked Stroman so in theory I'm all up for acquiring him - WTF the context is will obviously shape what one actually thinks of the deal though.

ashie62 Jul 28 2019 04:33 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Love Stroman! Have no idea of the return or the direction Brodie is headed on Rebuild, reinforce or retool? I have no clue

Frayed Knot Jul 28 2019 04:36 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!! Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 28 2019 04:39 PM

You'd have to think that one theory has to be that he's the pre-replacement for the soon to be dealt Syndergaard or Wheeler (or both!). Another is that maybe Stroman is to be packaged with some current NYM and flipped before ever suiting up. A third is that this mini-streak has changed their thinking and they're now in Go-For-It mode.

duan Jul 28 2019 04:37 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Anthony DiComo is saying “pitching prospects” - if they can actually get Stroman for Anthony Kay + more they should do that in a heart beat

Well now the Mets have no prospects in their farm. And the only pitcher the Mets are hellbent on holding on to is a real gem, but he'll be 32 next season.

MFS62 Jul 28 2019 04:50 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

It takes one more starter off the market and makes those teams looking for one having to ante up more than they hoped to get one. I had read (one of the so-called experts) that the Mets were going to trade Noah and replace him with Stroman. Looks like they got their insurance policy first. Later

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 28 2019 04:52 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Gives us some options. Gives us a very good rotation.

ashie62 Jul 28 2019 04:56 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I like Anthony Kay as much as I did Justin Dunn. Those are two potential studs gone Keeping Stroman and trading Cano kinda evens up this mess Overall, what the eff?

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 28 2019 05:16 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Well, most people think Kay won't be a stud, just a mid-rotation guy at best, not that's anything to sneeze at. And that requires him to still develop some offspeed stuff. Richardson is the currency in this deal but he's 18 and anything can happen.

Lefty Specialist Jul 28 2019 05:17 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Wow, the minor league cupboard is really getting bare now. This ups the chances of trading Noah away for a bag of beans.

The Jays' home park has a turf infield. So, since he's a contact pitcher, I expected his home/ away splits show he does better on the road. But he actually has been better at home. OPS against: .664 vs .730.

Interesting.

Later

Methead Jul 28 2019 06:26 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I guess we're going for it. Textbook TITTS. For some reason it feels to me like we're selling high on Kay. And Richardson is a lotto ticket so who knows. Not that I particularly enjoy trading prospects away.

Valadius Jul 28 2019 06:51 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Consider me very confused.

nymr83 Jul 28 2019 06:59 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

In isolation I like the deal - I wasn't a fan of Richardson at all from anything i've read. Kay might be good, but all unproven minor leaguers MIGHT be good. I'll LOVE this trade if: -the Mets plan to start 2020 with a rotation of deGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman, Wheeler, & Matz and kick the reporter-threatening Vargas to the curb -the Mets plan to trade Wheeler, figuring that Stroman and the return for Wheeler are worth more than Wheeler and Kay/Richardson, you need to take into account the year of control here too. I'll be neutral overall if the plan is to trade Syndergaard and extend Wheeler I'll be trending negative if they trade both Syndegaard and Wheeler I'll be very down on this deal if they trade Syndergaard and let Wheeler walk as a FA

Edgy MD Jul 28 2019 07:06 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

For the sake of cookies and M&Ms, let's say this is an indication that the Mets are muscling up for the remainder of the seasons, rather than stripping down. What's the rotation? Because they now have six healthy starters. Do they now still flip Vargas or Wheeler or Syndergaard (Wheelvargaarrd), only do it instead for someone who provides current value, rather than future interests?

Fman99 Jul 28 2019 08:39 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Some SP will be dealt prior to August 1st. I won't evaluate this until that happens. It depends on who he's replacing.

bmfc1 Jul 29 2019 05:31 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

From what I've read, my concern over Stroman's pitching to contact with a lousy defense around him is offset by the fact that he has one of the lowest HR-allowed rates in baseball. He is an excellent defender (giving the Mets two of the top fielding SPs in MLB--deGrom being the other). BVW is seen as a "disruptor" who now has more of an advantage in a limited SP market for possible trades. He can keep all of them, trade one of them, trade some of them, take the return from a trade and trade that for something else. Diaz is also in demand. Nothing may happen but count on Martino, Rosenthal and the rest to fill up the time between now and Wednesday at 4 PM with every possible scenario.

Lefty Specialist Jul 29 2019 06:07 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Yes, let the wild, baseless speculation begin. If they trade Wheeler and get a plus defensive CF back, they still need to Roto-Rooter the bullpen. Unless the plan is to move Vargas to the pen. There's also the Diaz trade possibility, in which case every starter better throw complete games because otherwise they're doomed. I honestly can't figure out what they're trying to do here.

nymr83 Jul 29 2019 06:38 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Wheeler for Margot? i wouldnt be too disappointed

seawolf17 Jul 29 2019 06:40 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Margot? Meh. If you want a Padre defensive fourth OF-type, BRING TRAVIS JANKOWSKI HOME, BRODIE.

smg58 Jul 29 2019 07:36 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I'd love this deal if the Mets had 10 more wins. Stroman has more than held his own in the hardest division to pitch in. It actually makes less sense to trade Thor now -- he's under contract for longer, and Kay could have filled a rotation spot in the long term. Getting Stroman means we're committed to competing next year --which we can do if we're willing to add another $30M or so in payroll. We don't have a playoff team right now, or even a .500 one, and we're rapidly running out of prospect pieces. So this move will ultimately be judged in the context of whatever else happens.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 29 2019 07:46 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I think the SHaMs have .500 in 'em. Jeez they can be there by the weekend if they TCB this week.

ashie62 Jul 29 2019 10:06 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I believe the Mets are trying to make a 2019 run for the wild card. Why not. Move Andres Gimenez and Dominic Smith while Brodie is at it. Seems odd that Noah goes in that scenario. I would guess Noah goes for a primo OF or young SP. Our closer I have headed To Boston for Benintendi. Goodbye Nimmo. All wild speculation

Willets Point Jul 29 2019 11:03 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Welcome Marcus Stroman! I like him from what I know about him. Hope he gets a chance to flourish in New York. Will feel a lot lest positive if Syndergaard is traded, though. Maybe by bolstering the rotation they can move someone to the pen and make it stronger too, although I don't know who that would be.

It'd have to be Vargas, although arguably he's been their second-best pitcher this year. But someone in the rotation is definitely going to be traded, making it a moot point. I like Stroman but we have to see how the rest of this plays out. i have a feeling we'll be pretty grumpy by Wednesday evening.

Centerfield Jul 29 2019 12:43 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I don't know much about Marcus Stroman, except that he doesn't seem to be anywhere near good enough to warrant the term "ace", which I've heard tossed around. Nice ERA this year, but it was 5.54 a year ago. 1.28 career WHIP suggests good, but not great pitcher. I heard Anthony Kay only projected to a mid rotation guy, but I heard that there was a real high upside for Woods Richardson. But he's 18 and a pitching prospect, so what do you know. I hope that this deal is not a justification for dealing Noah Syndergaard, because that would be beyond dumb.

I'd chalk that up to a hack and a rag trying to stir the pot, making it easier on fans if he's part of a package in a couple of days. Just immaturity after thinking for weeks he'd land in midst of a legit playoff race. Compare that to Delgado who once used his no-trade clause to NIX a trade from the Jays to a contender.

nymr83 Aug 01 2019 08:23 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

I am no longer an ESPN paid subscriber, but I can only assume that noted Mets-hater Keith Law didn't like the Stroman trade as he jerks off to prospects like they are all the second coming. Meanwhile over at The Athletic, Former GM Jim Bowden says the Mets did great: [url]https://theathletic.com/1110927/2019/08/01/bowden-trade-deadline-grades-for-all-30-mlb-teams/ New York Mets Grade: A- Acquired RHP Marcus Stroman from Blue Jays in exchange for LHP Anthony Kay and RHP Simeon Woods Richardson. Traded RHP Wilmer Font to Blue Jays for cash. Acquired RHP Brooks Pounders from Indians for cash. Traded LHP Jason Vargas and $2.9m to Phillies in exchange for C Austin Bossart. From Wednesday night: The New York Mets shocked the baseball world Sunday when they outbid their crosstown rival Yankees and several other contending teams to land right-handed starting pitcher Marcus Stroman from the Toronto Blue Jays, intending to keep him as an important part of their starting rotation this year and next. In return, the Mets sent their top left-handed pitching prospect Anthony Kay, their first-round pick and No. 31 overall in the June 2016 MLB Draft, along with right-handed pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson, amounting to a solid but not special return for the rebuilding Blue Jays. The Mets realize this offseason free-agent market for starting pitching was tough and they wanted to get a headstart on building for 2020. The Mets kept starters Noah Syndergaard and Zach Wheeler and closer Edwin Díaz, which allows them to be more competitive the rest of the year and sets them up for 2020, especially if they can re-sign Wheeler. If the Mets can improve their defense and add a bat or two in the offseason, they should be right back to being contenders in 2020.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2019 08:56 PM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Well, in defense of Law, prospects are his beat. And while I know the Christian faith isn't your bag, and while many denominations have different rites and creeds, please let me assure you that jerking off to the Second Coming isn't really how it's done. Also, later reports (with our own Mike Fucking Puma in the middle of them) have suggested that the closed clubhouse thingy with the Jays wasn't because Stroman was pissed about not going to the Yankees, but rather that he received some anonymous shit talking from management personnel on the way out the door. Keith Law himself, among some others, have called out these comments as something more than cheap and condescending, but also racist.

Agreed. But in sports, it seems its hard to get behind the scenes information without unnamed sources, since they are typically giving info about their employer. Or co-worker I guess.

That doesn't mean we should take into account that it's an anonymous statement when figuring out how much weight to give it. Agreed. It would be hard to get behind the scenes information in news, too. A good reporter knows how to build sources and bring them on the record when necessary. (Or, a reporter hears about something from an unnamed source, then works hard to get someone to go on the record to talk about it.) It's become such common practice in sports that it will probably never change. The 24-hour news cycle and social media doesn't help. But there's a serious lack of accountability. Tracky was funny on this week's Shea Anything podcast. The other host on the podcast asked Tracky if he was surprised by the Mets getting Stroman, and he said something along the lines of, "Oh not at all. I knew that was in the works." Oh, really? Show us the tweets and posts where you spoke about that deal in advance. Because the only thing we heard from him -- and all the others -- was that the Mets were going to be big sellers.

Centerfield Aug 02 2019 11:02 AM Re: Marcus Stroman a Met !!!!

Yeah, anonymous sources cause the reader to rely on the integrity of the reporter. And Tracky has proven over and over that he has none. He's proven to be a troll. Posting inciteful messages then following with "What? I'm just reporting." When in truth, nothing he does even resembles reporting.
