Family member ( Mets fan) shared thoughts today that presently there is a very active conversation going on in the Mets message board if the NL has no DH this season Mets have a big....big problem 2 first basemen ( Dom Smith .316 AVG....... 10 HR....42 RBI ......616 SLG IN 50 games in 2020) and Pete Alonzo.......And NO Left Fielders........I checked it out and there are quite a few trade scenarios being tossed about so my family member wondered is a package involving Trey Mancini and either Dom Smith (25yrs old) or Alonzo(26 yrs old )could be figured out ........Possible ???????

 

The Mets have two 1B and no LF so they would trade one of their 1B for our 1B?

I think they would be a lot better served going after Santander if they want, you know, an outfielder.

That could work .

Yup. 
 

And I don’t think either Mancini or Santander alone nets us Alonso. His price I imagine is higher than it probably should be. I’d stay away, even though he’s a fun player to watch and root for

    • He had an .876 OPS last year. I don’t know why he’d exercise the option. I’d certainly pay him 1/10ish
    • The hurdle for getting these guys is they value the west coast highly. I’m not saying that’s a factor in posted players. But, there is impact on the free agent types.
    • Grichuk would be a perfect complement to Os roster as RHH OF with good platoon splits, however he has mutual option for $6M next year (after making only $1.5M this season). Do you see him or DBacks not picking that up?
    • I’d hope David is a little more secure financially. It’s not like he has to support his wife’s country music career with 0 outside income. 
    • thus the need for a gap to gap hitter
    • Grichuk really bounced back last year. He would be great as RH OF/DH to play against LHP. Really need to find a bat like that because we’re so lefty dominant. Losing Santander will only add to that. 
    • I think that was very true for a lot of years. Too many, really. But I feel like things might have changed this year with the fanbase, as I think the last three and a half months really ripped the shine off of just about everyone and everything associated with the Orioles. I think the attendance at these playoff games and the intensity of the crowd (just based on what I saw on TV and comparing it to 2012 and 2014) reflected how fans felt about the product this year. Even the tone of this board feels different, and I am glad to see it. I don't think people are celebrating regular season win totals like they did in the past, or thinking not being swept in the regular season was ever cool when they got ousted in 3 by Texas when it counted, or having blind faith in Elias. If anything, I think the patience with Elias, Hyde, the coaches, and the players has finally run thin. Hopefully there are no more age excuses for Holliday when we have seen what the other young Jacksons in the majors look like, or Adley when we have seen what a much older and bigger Sal Perez is capable of, or any of our hitters who all came up so small in big moments. And after seeing how active Kansas City was last offseason even on the heels of a 106 loss team, there should be absolutely no excuses centered on small market or budgets. There will be injuries in 2025 like there are every year, but the players who are on the field and healthy need to step up.
