I wouldn't mind giving him up if we were getting Crawford and Kazmir one bit, but now I'm just going to be upset that this most likely won't happen. Or do you think we have a shot? 50-50 chance or what?
I keep trying to tell myself it won't happen, but damn it has me excited.
Well Martinez to Boston, I guess we do nothing and have given up on the season. ='[
Looks like it.
Great trade made yesterday, this will save our season. Ridiculous. Maybe now we'll have an even lower team batting average...Following the game, the Mets designated Angel Berroa for assignment, and added Anderson Hernandez to the 25–man roster.
…this would suggest Luis Castillo may actually be ‘day to day,’ and not headed for the disabled list…
Hernandez was re-acquired yesterday from the Nationals for 21–year-old, minor-leaguer Greg Veloz.
Berroa had just four hits in 27 at bats with the Mets.
Chances were the ones that claimed Rios?
I hope so, but I doubt it unfortunately.
In order for us to win the claim, EVERY AL team, plus the Nationals, Reds, Pirates, Diamondbacks, and Padres would ALL have to have passed on him.
You guys are pretty high up on the waiver claim list, am I not correct?
The entire AL goes first, then there are 5 NL teams before us.
Guess not.Joel Sherman of the New York Post says a high ranking team official assured him the Mets did not claim Rios.
Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus writes, “Lots of speculation that it was the White Sox that claimed Rios. I have no idea.”
Why do all the AL teams get a chance at him first?
