Three Bold Trade Ideas for the Mets to Find Hidden Value

47 comments

1. I’d absolutely make a move for Montgomery so long as there is no real prospect cost. I’d even take the whole salary. High degree of confidence he’ll pitch much better next year.

2. Video game of Soto and Correa sounds pretty nice….

3. Cody Bellinger? Thank you Ryan is not the Mets GM 😂😂😂

4. Dude, all due respect. I I love you show your content, but you just made a comment that supports what I think is we don’t need to go outside and get another centerfielder. I believe have enough talent to bring up just like San Diego. Just start bringing up the kids man. With the right mixture of players like Soto and other stars, they could thrive in that environment. I think take a chance and bring them up now. Save the money and don’t trade the farm.

5. Carson Benge, Ryan, Clifford what are you talking about man? Like why are we trying to add more money in and trade guys just bring those two up. Let Pete go start Ryan Clifford at first and bring Carson venge up to centerfield. Take a chance that’s what San Diego did and look at Chicago is doing with our guy..

7. Trade Jeff McNeil, let Pete go. Sign Soto, Carson centerfield., Baty or Mauricio to third base, Vientos at first, Jett Williams at Second and use Acuna as trade bait

8. You should have stopped right there after you said: If he only winds up being a .750 OPS guy with 20 home runs and 10 stolen bases, is that a 27 and a half million dollar player, NO BUT…

9. Carlos Correa, are you kidding me? Dude have you started to smoke Hawaiian gold or gorilla glue again?

10. If he was healthy, last year 86 next year 76 the following year 56 or his ankle finally blows up Dude I don’t know what kind of things you’re saying I never seen you or heard you say things like this.

12. Bader, we need a good defensive CF at Citifield.

13. Spend your money on Sotto and pitching. Bring up the kids that’s what San Diego did.

14. So you are hoping the Mets get a third baseman that you hope doesn’t play enough games to vest all the money and there’s a part-time player? Why don’t he just bring inbring in a MASH with him?

15. Jordan Montgomery, oh my God dude what are you talking about? What is what are you talking about? I don’t understand you today. I’m laughing my head off. You sound insane and I love your content.

16. Jordan Montgomery, oh my God dude what are you talking about? What is what are you talking about? I don’t understand you. I’m laughing my head off. You sound insane and I love your content.

17. These are literally the worst ideas you’ve ever had and you don’t have bad for the most part. Jordan Montgomery? Did a bumble bee sting you ? Are you allergic to Bee stings?

18. These are literally the worst ideas you’ve ever had. You usually don’t have bad ideas. I’m surprised by these thoughts. Jordan Montgomery? Did a bumble bee sting you ? Are you allergic to Bee stings? NO NO NO NO NO ! Free agent for 14 million yeah trade for him? Maybe we could trade like a beehive for him

Are you allergic to Bee stings? NO NO NO NO NO ! Free agent for 14 million, yes But trade for him? No, Maybe we could trade like a beehive, a bag of rubber bands, some crazy glue for him

20. I would rather eat glass, broken glass, punch myself in the neck, hit my temple with an ice pick than make any of these trades.

21. Take a chance on Luis Robert

22. No, no no, no, no, no…….Correa……no

23. Hard no on Correa

24. I think Mauricio should be playing first base. Just because the Mets have a lot of money doesn’t mean they have to spend it. This move gets his bat in a place to where he can put a big numbers and he’s cheap. I would trade Betty and unfortunately squirrel to someone and have Acuna play second. The money saved could help get two incredibly strong pitchers free agency..

25. Trades aren't the way to find value. Unless you trade players that are below your top 50.

26. What is up with these negative comments??
    These are all hypothetical moves

27. I don’t trust Cody Bellinger! Not so much about injuries

28. If Minnesota will take Marte, it's a great Beal.

29. Taking on Carlos Correa with his injury history & that contract is unthinkably gross malpractice. It's exactly what not to do.

30. The Mets do not need to trade . Either have faith and trust in your farm system or move on.

31. Brandon Nimmo is a better center fielder defensively. He only moved to left for Bader. Bellinger will be hitting deep pop-ups in Citi Field. Bellinger can play different positions at close to league average. You have to give up someone even if you take on the contract & the $ can be spent MUCH better like your homegrown 1B.

    No, no, no, no Correa. Just NO! He was hurt & terrible last year. Hurt this year. I don't want that contract! He hasn't been healthy or productive for almost 30 mil. Put that $ towards Pete.

    No thanks. I wanted him at a reasonable contract last year. Now. He looked like hot garbage last year & kicked out of the bullpen. Whatever $ could be used towards Burnes or Snell & Buhler. I'm more interested in a half a year of Bieber.

    I don't want any of these. Montgomery is sadly the most palatable. I don't want those contracts & players & I don't want to give up any talent even someone who hasn't made low A in the compounds, imho.

32. Yes, take a chance on Luis Robert

33. Please clarify. Doesn't Bellinger have a player option for 2026 for 25Mil? If he has a mediocre year, wouldn't he exercise that option and we have to pay him the 25mil in 2026 when our young guys are ready?

34. Sign Alonso manaea forget carlos correa an juan soto

35. This is the Perfect Plan for the 2025 Mets WS Championship Season!! Skip Juan Soto , Soto is a NO NO NO!!! He went to San Diego and Nothing Happen! Yankees WS and Nothing Happen!! So Soto "NO" , lets Sign for Cheap & Smart" lets start signing Kike Hernandez 3 Years/ $24 Millions, then Lets Trade Francisco Alvarez and Mauricio to the Minnesota Twins for Carlos Correa 3B/ Move Vientos 1B/ Keep Alonso (DH) for 4years/ $88 millions dollars, and Because we traded Francisco Alvarez bring a Veteran Champ like Martin Maldonado 2 years/$10 Millions Contract, go and bring 2 Good Healthy Young Cheap Arms (Pitchers), and If We Win , we Should with this Team, next Season you Go for Melendez( Kansas City) or Jose Miranda (Twins)

36. They absolutely have to sign five good starters and they will go to the World Series even without Soto. I think they should sign4pitchers (hopefully Burnes/snell,manea,severino) and then since pitching is always such a high commodity, they can take singer and trade him for a really great that because the price for pitching is so high luckily Steve Cohen can afford to pay that price so we should sign for pictures and train finger for a center/outfielder or dh. that’s how they use the system against itself by having good pictures on their contract that you can straight away because pitch is always desirable

37. Fun..silly outside the box ideas. Have to fill time when nothing is happening.

38. The Mets need to trade for Crochet and Robert. Then go all in for Guerrero. Especially if they don’t get Soto. He will stay with the Yankees anyway. Mets need to get Guerrero Cochet Robert. Then sign Burnes and Adames. That will help the Met fans get over the Soto thing. Also trade for reliever Williams from brewers. Forget Correa. He is done.

39. No way Montgomery. No chance at all

40. Burnes Crochet Senga Manea Peterson Mcgil. That’s the rotation.

41. Do not trust in the farm system. Get rid of whatever it takes to get proven talent. Look at Baty. Awful.

42. How about our kids coming up? If the Mets sign Soto, they need a CF that can cover a lot of ground, defensively. Wouldn't it be more prudent to have Tyrone Taylor share time with Drew Gilbert giving Gilbert the majority of playing time and effectively making Taylor the fourth outfielder?

43. Correa is just idiotic.. Mauricio would probably give team same stats at minimal salary

44. Hmmmm. I thought we had a center fielder by the name of Nemo? Nymmo? What happened to that guy?

45. Ryan I've been advocating for Bellinger because he's athletic. Athleticism was the difference between Dodgers and Yankees in the world series. Guys who beat out infield hits, steals bases, goes 1st to 3rd 1st to home 2nd to home on a hard hit single & runs down balls in the gap with men on base. Athleticism seperates the great teams from the good teams.

46. It’s a really simple off season. Go out and sign Soto and then give up your prospects for Vlad Jr. he wants out of Toronto. Those two guys are 26 and 25 and you will be set for years

47. Pass on belinger and the cubs never put him on the market. I rather have Cedric Mullins and it won’t cost as much.
