Lindor to Mets (Rosario-related)

Recommended Posts

The Mets are getting Lindor and Carrasco for a package including Rosario, Gimenez, Greene, and Josh Wolf.  I would imagine the Indians want to play the better prospect, Gimenez.  What would it take to get Rosario for the O's?  Bad 2020 with 0 WAR, but a solid 2019 with a .755 OPS and 2.2 WAR.  Defensive numbers aren't as good as I had hoped.  Thoughts?

I’d rather play Martin full time than send any level prospect for a not so great SS who is entering arbitration. 
 

With that being said, I’d welcome the idea if we were to claim him and get him for nothing. 

Fair point.  I think I'd still rather see him over Martin, though.

I don’t see why you would add Rosario as he is just average to below level shortstop who is arbitration eligible and expected to make 1.25-1.5 million this year.  If they are getting him I see more of thought he bounce back this year and guy you can get  more back in a trade next year.  The Indians also have Yu Chang who is 25 has not had success at major league level but been decent player at AAA who looks to be pushed out here and might make more sense as cheap replacement.

For sure, yeah.  I'm not beating the drum for this guy or anything.  I have a good friend who is a Mets fan and he talks up Rosario a lot.  Just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

He was worth close to 3 fWAR in 2019.  My guess is that was a little over his head and he is a 1-2 WAR player in a full season.  
 

If you could get him for a player like Jarrett or someone like that who is outside your top 30 (or even 2 players like that), I would probably be ok with it.  
 

But he doesn’t really jump off the page as really good at one thing, so he’s not someone I would be clamoring For.

If the Indians didn’t want Rosario, why was he included in the trade?

Probably because he's redundant on the Mets with Lindor, so they wanted to move him.  Maybe the Indians think they can get something if they flip him, or try him out in the middle with Gimenez.  The real gem of the trade was Gimenez for sure.

Bummer. I was hoping Elias had a master plan to cut payroll to the bone and then go all out for Lindor. I also wanted him in a walk year situation for my fantasy team. 

Nah...this is likely to end up a regrettable contract.

    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
