Honestly, I don't care who we get. I want either.
Only problem is like I said Gomez is going to be worth a lot more.
If we give up Wheeler, I'll be very pissed and sad. I always felt like Wheeler could be an Ace, and if healthy with the full retention of control would be a pitcher better than Harvey.
of the pitchers though, i think wheeler has the lowest floor. look at it that way.
and yes gomez will cost a lot more. but how would you like to have gomez as your CF next year when you still have the same rotation? dont have to worry about not resigning cespedes after missing the postseason this year.

1. How does Cespedes have a high ceiling? Dude is almost 30.
2. Why would the tigers sell Cespedes at a below market rate when they could simply let him walk after the season and get a 1st round draft pick? They wouldn't trade him for anything short of a 1st round caliber prospect + more since they'd be giving up 2 extra months of production.
3. Why would Cespedes re-sign at a discount to a team he's only played on for two months(assuming he gets traded to the mets)?
Gomez on the other hand is coming of back-to-back MVP caliber years and is locked up for an extra year for a very cheap $9m. Even if he walks after 2016 you still get a draft pick...
thank you for saying everything i was trying to say, but in a better way
