Does this open the door to option Rickard and bring up Stewart soon since Broxton offers an option in CF?

Starting to think they aren't going to be able to move Cobb at the trade deadline.

That would require 2, 25 man moves. They can option Rickard, which creates the spot for Broxton. But they would need a spot for Stewart.

Yeah...I forgot Ramirez was already off the 25-man.

I'd make a joke about what type of fool team would trade for slot money this close to the next round of signings but this is the Mets.

It's a little bold to DFA one of your only SP depth pieces, but Chandler Shepherd made 25 starts in AAA last season, with decent enough numbers. They must like him more than Yefry, especially with Yefry's hot start in Norfolk this season. Or they think they can slip him through.

At least they aren't messing around deluding themselves that he can come back quickly this time.

Never trust any starting pitcher who is willing to take the Orioles' money.

You really had to squint hard to see that brightside.

Hey I love getting a useless player off the 40-man whenever possible. It's nice to have the breathing room.

Thoughts on Brockton?

Why stop with Cobb?  We got more chaff than wheat at the moment.
