A lot of teams don't just remove their closer if he's doing well.

yeah but this is kimbrel we're talking about here...its almost like trading for mariano riveria and him only being the setup man

With an acquisition like kimbrel you do. I think gregorson will understand.

Mets going after Bruce now. I'll be upset if we give Wheeler for him

Fuck Bruce... This guy sucks, has no clear position on our team...

I would rather go after Upton, hell even Cespedes... They won't cost Wheeler... Come on... Fuck. Or go for the other CarGo.

If we trade Bruce for Wheeler, this would be the biggest mistake we've made...

Gomez was the perfect fit for us too. Such a shame, watch him tear it up in Houston

I don't get the Bruce trade though... Who's going to play CF? Lagares need surgery, and we need someone that can man RF/CF just in case Granderson switches over, or get injured. I mean this is horrible. Bruce is not worth Wheeler, I'm not hating on him, but hes a perfect example of another shitty Mets hitter called Cuddyer. Hes going to hit for power, and strike out a lot... We don't need a guy that can crush homers, and hit for power, we need someone that can lead off, hit for power occasionally, but most important get our men on base on home...



Wtf no thanks... What is Sandy thinking now... Plus if financial security and commitment was the reason why the deal fell, watch him tack on Lagares to match 'salaries.'

Lmao. These Mets fans thinking Wheeler is worth a top end player.

The guy hasn't performed in the majors AND just had TJS. Wtf do you think he's worth? Bruce is a fucking awesome deal.

Considering Wheeler + Flores was about to net us Gomez (a top end player), why would we trade him for a much lesser player?

Extra year of control, and no "hip problems", lmao
Wheeler is essentially Matt Moore 2.0. Just a bunch of hype he's never lived up to. Guy walks too many people.
