Why would someone trade a top bat for Dickey, but not for what we are going to give for Dickey?

Different teams have different needs. The Mets may value a couple of young pitchers with good upside like Britton and Arrieta, but another team may prefer an established veteran.

Briiton or Arietta and i'm good with a trade. Rspecially if we could get him without giving up Schoop.

It may just be me, but I don't want to give up Britton. Guy looks brilliant at times and had 4 awesome starts in August/September and is 24 years old. Call me crazy, but I'd almost rather have Britton than Dickey for a year. Dude has all the potential in the world.

I can't figure why everyone is in love with an old pitcher who likely pitched a fluke season

People keep saying this, but look at his last three years. Last year was not a complete aberration.

Exactly. Peoples acts like Britton is bust.

If we can get him for Schoop, Britton/Arrieta, and one or two more decent prospects, I would be thrilled. We'd have to sign him to an extension though to make it worth it, IMO.

Schoop would be a terrible deal. One year of a guy who had a career year at 38 for a guy that should give us at least 12 WAR at a very reduced price.

I wouldn't say his success is flukey, but the strikeout rate spiked dramatically enough where I would call into question whether or not he will repeat it. If he doesn't repeat that he's still a pretty good pitcher, but maybe not an Ace worth giving up a lot for in a trade when Dickey's only under contract for one year and we have a number of bodies already competing for spots.

      Yeah, the limited IP so far is small.  But it feels like he's not at the right level of competition. Of course it's also as much competing against himself (pitch shape, location, etc. that the team tracks) as against the hitters too.  Like you mentioned elsewhere, he's younger than DeLeon.

      I think they’d go with 4 lefties before sending Akin to AAA. If everyone is healthy: SP: Burnes, Grayson, Bradish, Kremer, Means/Irvin RP: Kimbrel, Cano, Coulombe, Perez, Akin, Suárez, Webb/Baumann, Irvin/Means Option: Wells, Tate DFA: Ramirez, Baumann/Webb And then if they want Wells, they either DFA the other of Webb/Baumann or option Akin.  They also have the ability to option Kremer, but he’s really have to pitch poorly for that to happen.

      With Cowser hitting lefties ok so far, not a lot of reason for McKenna. Mateo has already played CF once as well, so they are covered down with defense in CF and Kjerstad brings a much better bat.

      The guys been part of the team for a few years now at this point, do you really think his name is Brian?  Hell I'm guessing the story you linked mentioned his first name at least once.   Also who cares what Roch thinks?  If McKenna was coming back up, he would have a couple days ago instead of 'Silent J'.

      Not his sharpest outing today. Pretty pitch-inefficient. Gave up a series of pretty soft hits. Able to grind thru 4 innings (I assume his day is done) w/ solid results: 7 K, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 R, 86 pitches    Edit: came back out to get 2 outs in the 5th. 94 pitch outing.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      Not just WS contenders, but most Playoff contenders will be looking for bullpen upgrades as the deadline nears....if we're being honest with ourselves, if 70% of the teams have a shot at the playoffs, and the other 30% only have a handful (combined) of quality arms they might consider dealing, we should expect to have to pay a Kings Ransom to outbid those that are competing with us for the talent.  And, therein lies the problem.....we won't get a fair and reasonable deal by Hangout standards, it will have to be an overpay, or we settle for another Flaherty type.  That's just the reality folks. My point  being, be prepared to be disappointed that we had to give up too much, or we didn't get who we really wanted.
