11 Blue Jays - Mets (CPU) Trade - VETOED

[ejruiz]

The Blue Jays are sending MLB SP Noah Lowry, AAA SP Zach Duke, and AAA CF Chris Dickerson to the Mets for MLB SP Ervin Santana. New York had put Santana on the Trade Block and Lowry had demanded a trade from Toronto; the other two are make-weights that NY requested to balance the headliners of the deal out from their perspective.

Seems ok. Not a great deal for the Mets, but at least they get something out of an unhappy guy with an expiring contract.

Hmm, a bunch of old guys for an old guy... Have to think on this

This would make more sense if there was a young guy going back. Dickerson has zero value whatsoever. If that was a 20 year old with 2.5* potential plus Duke? I'd like it more. Especially since the Mets are a below .500 team.

Yeah it’s gonna be a no from me. Santana is playing at All-Star caliber and the pitchers coming to them in return havent shown enough/advanced age makes me feel they won’t really be much of a return at all.

Was this sarcastic or did you really need time to consider it? And, if it's the latter, then have you come to a conclusion? If you vote in favor, then it'd be tied 2-2...

Two no's is a veto

So part of the reason I wanted to wait to respond was to think about it more. The Mets have basically the same record as the Jays. Why do we assume they wants young players? Maybe they were both making a move for now? I think that's a lens we should consider when looking at these trades
