Pros and cons of Mets trading Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga

Pros and cons of Mets trading Brandon Nimmo and Kodai Senga

ESPN reported earlier today that
the Mets are open for business on a lot of their
players including Brandon Mo, Mark Vientos Jeff big deal.
Brett Beatty kodai, Sangha Acuna as well. I got me excited. Danny would
you make of those? The idea that the Mets would be
open for business in that report. I think welcome to the
party. Welcome to the show, right. I think it’s about time.
You heard David Stern’s use the word urgency. Maybe could
have been more urgent last year and I think with
urgency comes tough decisions and I think that’s why you’re
seeing some of the names that We are, that could be on the
market. And so, I think to myself, it’s kind of clear. They
want to get younger. It’s clear that last year, wasn’t
enough, and we need to be better and that starts with
David Stern’s. And I think this is where his bread. And butters.
I think this is where he starts to shine. I want to
focus on Brandon ammo for a second. In that group of guys,
rightful. No trade in his contract, 102 million still
left. I thought this year, listen for
how old he is. He did a good job. He had 25 home runs 13,
stolen bases. A bunch of RBIs like he’s still a good left,
fielder, his metrics. The ball hard, he hits the ball far, like
he’s still a good left fielder, but if you want to move on and
you want to bring Carson benjin to the fold, which it sounds
like he does. Then yeah, you can shop a guy like that and so
it seems to me the overarching theme for David Stern’s in this
team. Is we have younger guys who can
play and it’s time we make some drastic moves urgency means
tough decisions but to me if you want to play and you want to
win the division and you want to get to October which you
sorely miss last year, and it was like crushing it was
a crushing end of the season. That it might mean that guys who
weren’t already available or thought to be available needs
to be available now for well, I mean you bring up a
point with Nimmo. I mean there’s a point. You can be open
for business and you can put the open sign on the outside
of your store. That doesn’t mean to be able to
sell these things and I think Nimmo is going to fall into the
category of very tough sell and you like you mentioned, there’s
a lot of money left in that contract, that runs through 2030 his skills have diminished. So I
just don’t know how you can even package him to move him
somewhere based on the value and the cost it. Point, but the Mets have a lot to do. So the business side of it last
year was fairly easy, right? I mean, they just targeted one
Soto, he was plan a and they just funneled all their
attention, all their money to him and then figure things out.
After the fact, Pete, obviously became a part of that to this year. There’s a lot of
different directions. They can go in and it can depend on who
they can move, if they could move them. Oh, does that open up
an outfield spot? Where maybe does Kyle Tucker become
more of a factor in that? So I think they have to figure out
what spots could be open and then figure out what, guys, they
can get. But there are some big names out there from
the very beginning that they need to Target to, to fill some very big, holes,
Bullpen, rotation, middle of the order. What else is left at
that? Point Hood. Here’s how I see it on the meds. You have
to be opened, right? Like, and being open, doesn’t necessarily
mean being Reckless, right? Like, you could do those. You
could do one, instead of being the other one, right? Like you
could be open on things without having to change everything, but
I look at the meds and I say to myself, In 2024, they had that great
season. If I’m the front office, I’m
saying to myself. Okay, look at those core. Give them
the runway to prove themselves. They earned that turned out in 2025 when they
gave them, that Runway, it did not work out. And now you’re a
year older with some of those guys. So I do feel like you have
to be listening to offers on some of those things you have
to be open to perhaps changing the Personnel
around to your point. They
underachieved grantley last year so you have to do some
things. There are a bunch of holes to fill but it’s going to
be challenging and the most of the top of that list as far as
Challenges go because he has that no-trade Clause. He’s a tough guy, it’s move. But
it’s also pretty productive, and you want to get
something for him. That’s of value to your Club, you’re not.
Just going to give a guy away like that even though he is a
significant amount of money for a significant amount of time. Yeah. Look
Nimmo, may seem like, wow. Who’s gonna want that? The we
said the same thing about Verlander and Scherzer when they
traded them a few years ago, if you pay money to cut
some of the costs down, somebody will take Brandon Mo. Now, I personally love Brandon
Mo, but when you win 83 games, Something’s Gotta change. This
has been going on. The swing 22 one year, great one year awful,
one year. Great, one year awful that can’t happen with this core
so they need to change it up and my biggest fear coming
into this offseason was that the Mets? Would look at this and
keep all these pieces intact, all those names that we
had there and then just add pitching on top of it. For me
that wouldn’t be a good enough. Fix cold ice, Angus, and then that
we brought up as well will what are the realistic chances
at the Met? The fact that they’re open for
business shows me that they’re not just willing to run it back
and add pitching. What about though trading some of the
pitching with Cody Sangha, caressing is a tricky one for a A lot of reasons. One being that
I don’t know if any team let alone the Mets know exactly
what you have in code. I say and go, right. Like they’ve gone
through this a couple of years now. So extracting the
value for a code. I sang it in a trade difficult. It’s it’s layered because you don’t
know if he’s going to throw a 32 starts for you or if he’s
going to throw it or 10 even if those eight or ten or really
good, you just don’t know what you’re gonna get from him. We’ve
learned that about him. I do think the Mets are open to
that idea but they’re open to pretty much
all their pictures really except for Nolan McClain I think
at least as far as trade possibilities go They have to be
right but sayings of the top of the list as far as, you know,
the thing that I hear a lot from other teams because
of that potential. We’ve seen it,
he doesn’t get this one guy. If I was going to say, there’s a
lot of upside with him at a pretty decent cost, think
which makes it a very tricky question. Why would the Mets be
willing to give them up? I Don’t Wanna Give him up. I want to
keep them. I need guys to eat Innings right now. I understand,
they need to add. You got to get an ace, you don’t
have a number one, known the claim can be a number one,
he could get there, maybe Sean and I could have been that guy.
I still think he’s going to bounce back, but I’m going to
keep saying go for now because I need guys. To eat Innings, right? They were
taxed last year and they also taxed the bullpen because they couldn’t get guys
through five six Innings. So I’m not quite ready to give them
up. I do think he’s intriguing, right? He has a lot
of intriguing qualities but to me if I’m this team which like
being open for business, being able to recognize that last year
didn’t work and something has to change. And that might
mean being a little dramatic and
doing something that feels untraditional or
unorthodox to people like moving a fan favorite like,
Brandon Mo. But to me I want I got to keep my innings like I
don’t know what the market is going to look like. I need to
keep my Innings. I’m kind of worried with Sangha don’t. Well, I’m wondering and does the relationship broken.
You think between this front office? That’s right. Of course
the ghost walk is going to be back by Monday about the
relationship at the end of last year. I mean this is a team that
was starving for pitching at the end of the
year. Sanger was healthy at that point
and they still wouldn’t pitch them. I mean, his
confidence was shot, it seemed like his faith in the
organization was lost and I wonder if there’s a way
back from that, and if there isn’t then, that’s the perfect
trade candidate, right?
