lets be honest

the mets don't know up from down

they aren't in win now or rebuilding mode

they are clueless and are merely trying anything they can do to make the back page of newspapers

trash organization owned by meerkat look alikes

Soooooo... we're still on win-now mode? If we are, why trade him to the Phillies?

Soooooo... we're rebuilding? If we are, why did we trade for Stroman?

My head is spinning with this team, its ridiculous.

Vargas is the odd man out. Starting rotation (as of today):

deGrom
Stroman
Thor
Wheeler
Matz

We could have used him, Matz or Wheeler for the bullpen for now. I don't know the complete trade so I'll wait and see before I go on another rant.

We got 26 year old catcher who's hitting 195 in AA ball. I think that Vargas should have been traded but not for a bag of rocks.

Sounds like a Coupon family deal. Just wanted to save some money.

Dumb trade. If you are in "win now" mode, why trade one of your better pitchers this year for a Crash Davis wannabe?

Matz or Vargas could have been a bullpen arm which is needed if you want to win.

Relax, man. Kick your feet up and toke on a blunt, mon.

Don't worry, 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing, is gonna be alright!


Brodie is going to trade Noah and bring back a bullpen arm for ya, mon.

I never thought I'd be upset about trading Vargas... And you also give Phillies cash considerations

If you are going to trade him for nothing, you should have at least sent him to the AL.

Just make Seth the closer, this a lost season for Diaz. Can’t keep running him out there if he’s this damn bad

Pure speculation but I'm wondering if the Padres acquired Taylor Trammell for a future deal with the Mets. Franmil Reyes was often mentioned as piece for Thor or Wheeler but he didn't really fit a need for the Mets.
