Trade Deadline
July 30th 2007 14:44
Good morning everyone,
Hope everybody had a great weekend. Tomorrow is baseball's trade deadline and I have a very bad feeling about my Mets. Every year, you hear all these rumors, with everybody speculating about what might happen. This year, the names I keep reading about linked to the Mets have all been terrible. I desperately want the Mets to make a trade, because I don't think they have the team to win it all presently. They badly need an infusion into this team that appears listless at times. Now with that being said, I don't want them to make a trade just for the sake of making a trade. That led to disaster a few years ago, when they got rid of Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano. We all know how that turned out. I don't want to trade any of the main prospects, but would if it netted a star in return. By star, I don't mean any of the names I have been hearing, Jon Garland, Jermaine Dye, Jose Contreras? All of these players are mediocre alternatives to what they have now. If they can't make a splash, stand pat and take your chances. Just once, I would like to see the Mets make a splash and trade for a superstar. That hasn't happened since Piazza in 98. I am hoping that for once they can do something, but I don't expect it. I got mildly intrigued last night when I heard that the Mets were interested in Carl Crawford. Now that is the type of player that I would love the Mets to get, but I think it was just a rumor. Hopefully, something good will happen, but I doubt it.
Just want to say that today is my son's 5th birthday. I wrote a post about it on Friday. Have to say again, Happy Birthday, David! You are my big guy and I love you. As for everybody else, have a great day.
Later,
Jonathan
