After these trades these last few weeks....what’s our farm system ranked now. I know we were second to last before
I really really like the #3 prospect the 19 year old outfielder, and the #4 prospect the pitcher. Even if the rest of the 3 just turn out to be thrown ins, I think the M’s are getting a good haul.Uncle Si":pkt1w59p said:Guys over at Lookout Landing really like the 3 Mets prospects being considered in the deal, FWIW
I’m the rare breed that thinks that a closers value is SEVERELY over-valued.West TX Hawk":p2g4c0cl said:Here’s an article that breaks down the author’s op why the M’s may have really missed the mark in cashing in on Díaz. https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/12/1 ... diaz-trade
The fact expensive Leake has been linked with Segura leads credence to the argument this was all ownership mandated to save money instead of truly maximizing full rebuild talent return. Was losing out on getting 4-5 prospects the way the Padres got for Kimbrel, worth saving only appx 1/2 of Cano’s deal? Is this really a rebuild or just an ownership direction to strip payroll with no intention of signing big FAs in 3 years? I’m glad we got rid of Cano and I like Kelinic and Dunn but perhaps we could’ve done even better.

You don’t trade him at this point unless you get a deal you cannot refuse. Another great year and his value goes up even more!425HawkSpark":1nclrytj said:Trade Haniger for 5 prospects
