The Mets got a top 50 guy for Scherzer. They want more for Verlander because he is throwing the ball better.

They will pay down the deal to get the top flight prospects.

You guys are ok with Mayo or Kjerstad+ for Verlander?

Mayo perhaps.. not sure we have a spot for him anyway but not Heston.

There are at least 10 pages of this argument. The gist is some people think that the city isn’t safe/corrupt and or not rich enough. Others argue he has lived in Houston and Detroit so how bad can it be.

It would only be for a year+ so I don't think this is an issue.

I would like to see Mayo moved to 1B or the OF before the O's give up on him. He is performing so well at a young age and has big power potential. There is no clear 1B prospect anyway.

Please God. There’s nothing to be said about the city that is novel- nor that Tony didn’t already warn everyone about. Roll on back to page 90 and get your fill.

If it’s a factor in waiving the NTC we’re never going to know anyway.

One thing that we can absolutely be assured of by the time 6pm comes, half the board will be happy the other half will not. Then shortly after 6pm some of the not so happy posters will talk themselves into whatever the org chooses to do. Book it!

I said it before and I'll save you the suspense.  If we do nothing I'll be happy.  

Be nice to get something for nothing but I wouldn't count on it.

Of course we have a spot for him and even if we didn’t, you don’t throw him away for this deal

Another thing not being mentioned re: Verlander is that the Mets haven't played the Orioles this year.  He hasn't had the opportunity to actually see the team in person and draw his own conclusions regarding how competitive they are.  Of course, he has access to lots of opinions, but it seems many players and teams are more impressed after they have seen the Orioles in person.

    • I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter
    • And here is the coverage map to determine if Fox is airing out game where you live:  https://506sports.com/mlb.php
    • We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown. 
    • So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.   
    • Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.
    • Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
    • Ah yes the good old days of tickets printed on paper product.
