Absolutely. Diaz isn't going anywhere.

Don't be so sure. The reason Diaz is being dangled isn't because the Mets have soured on him and are admitting a mistake. It's because ALL the contenders -- even the Yanx who signed like 78 relievers prior to the season -- are looking for relief help and if Diaz will start a bidding war then you have to listen. My concern, as it is for most of these situations, is that team mgmt often, in effect, 'pre-decides' that they're going to trade someone (or trade FOR someone) and then they stop at nothing in order to achieve that goal. iow, once they make the decision they then never consider NOT doing a deal. See the Kazmir, Scott fiasco. But you HAVE TO be able to walk away if you don't get your price but that's one of the places I think the corporate mentality of this club gets in its own way.

Some Mets snark from David Roth at Deadspin. Including about the third instsance I'm noticing about how the Wilpons suddenly don't like Syndergaard. And by don't like, I mean personality-wise. If this is true and history repeats itself, this is the kiss of death for Met fans of Thor. I guess the Wilpons still think that their fans will accept the unloading of any Met so long as the owners float a rumor about the so-called creepy soon to be departed Met. I now await the Mets inevitable acquisition of this year's Jim Fregosi in exchange for baseball's most spectacular throwing arm.

It's less a hijacking than being in an escape room with a bunch of ultra-confident dopes. They've been arguing for hours.

Rosenthal today in The Athletic: [BLOCKQUOTE]There are industry rumblings that club officials view Syndergaard's makeup as an issue – they also talked about trading him last winter – and fear that Díaz cannot handle New York. If the two are not traded on Wednesday, the Mets can revisit talks during the offseason, when Syndergaard still will be under control for two more seasons and Díaz for three.[/BLOCKQUOTE] So sorry that Noah is not a robot but someone with some brains and opinions (e.g. the post-Spring Training trip to Syracuse). We'll see if Jeffy treats him the way he treats pregnant employees.

I mean, you KNOW the Mets are using this conversation as a good gauge of interest in Wheeler, and what they value him at. Whether or not Wheeler himself thinks himself worth more if he can get some bidding going in the offseason is up to him.

Yeah, Met pitchers have Vultured themselves to the top of the heap in the second half. The key seems to be a very un-2019-ish capacity for keeping the ball in the park. I can only guess how sustainable that may be.

Brodie had two players in mind from STL for Wheeler and the Cardinals wouldn't do it. From The Athletic: [BLOCKQUOTE]But the New York Mets wanted a major league return and the Cardinals didn't think dealing [Harrison] Bader or [Tyler] O'Neill, both under team control for at least another five seasons, was worth about a dozen Wheeler starts plus, if they make it, what he'd give them in the playoffs. Wheeler, like Bumgarner, is a free agent in November if their current teams don't extend their contracts before then.
