2010, weren't you one of "them" who supported trading Thor for Tulo? Hmmm 2010? Tell the truth.
Nope. Go back and check the thread. I've consistently been saying I prefer to just keep our young guns: Harvey, Wheeler, deGrom, Syndergaard, and Montero. I'd prefer to just sign Melky and trade our vets Niese/Gee for minor offensive parts. Keep Colon as short-term insurance.
Only guy I'd part with any of our young starters for is Giancarlo Stanton.
Forgive me for ever doubting you. As for you other folks, you know who are. Time to face the music.
Yeah. That's exactly the plan I subscribe to as well. And don't get me wrong, I'd love Stanton and would be willing to part with Thor or Wheeler as parts of a larger package for him, but he's a free agent in two years after this season and he'll demand major bucks. Prolly over $200 M to sign him. The Wilponzis won't or cant shell it out. So then We gave up all those assets for a two year rental. I don't know if that's worth it.
