Probably means Thor's on the way out. I get they still want to compete next year, but trading for Stroman when his value is the highest it's ever been when you're not contending this year but at the same time not waiting until Syndergaard's value rebounds?

[BuckFoston]

Yeah, I'm fucking stumped right now.

The Mets didn't really give up much for him though, which I'm perplexed about considering how high Stroman's value was supposed to be.

Me too, but not for the Mets

The Mets gave up their #4 and #6 prospects for him, neither of which are even in the top 100 overall.

I don't know if the other buyers are treated the same way, but the Dodgers always get asked for their top 3 prospects, which makes them then not want to do trades, which then leads to stars getting traded to other buyers for less-than-impressive hauls.

Mets front office looking like wizards right now.

I mean, I was selfishly hoping that acquiring Stroman would've meant that they trade Syndergaard, making it a 1-for-1 downgrade.
