00:00This is Straight Outta Flushing, brought to you by your local Ford stores.
00:04Ford F-150 is the official truck of the New York Mets.
00:09Let's say we get to next Monday night, and the three of us are looking at what the Mets have
00:14done,
00:14or hopefully have done something by then.
00:16What do you think has to happen by next Monday night for us to say,
00:20hey, David Stearns hit a home run here at the trade deadline, we're giving him an A grade.
00:24What has to happen next Monday night for us to give him an A, or can you not grade it
00:28by then?
00:28Yeah, well, it's going to be difficult because they're going to get prospects,
00:32but I don't know how they're going to hit a home run or get an A grade or something like
00:38that
00:38when your best asset is a relief pitcher who's not a star closer.
00:45I think people's expectations have to come down a bit.
00:51Like I said, I would trade Alvarez and try to hit a home run that way.
00:55You know, I think they need to retool at the very least.
01:00Don't say rebuild or redo or whatever.
01:04So, yeah, I don't think it's happening.
01:07I'm sorry, guys.
01:09I don't know how they make an A-plus trade deadline.
01:14If they can get an RBI double, I think we'll take that.
01:16Yeah, can they get an RBI double at the trade deadline?
01:19What is it?
01:20Can they get a B, a B-plus?
01:22Can they hit an RBI double here at the trade deadline?
01:25Maybe a B.
01:28Well, Morty.
01:30They can do as good as they can possibly do,
01:32but I don't see how they're going to get, you know,
01:36unless they get a lucky, you know, the Pete Crow Armstrong in reverse deal,
01:41you know, I don't, I don't, and we're not going to know that right away, right?
01:45Right.
01:45So, yeah.
01:47It's hard.
01:48It almost seems like success for the Mets would be being able to sell multiple players, right?
01:54I think Ken Rose.
01:55Oh, yeah, they're going to, they're going to, well, Raley's going to be gone.
01:57Bimenter will be gone.
01:58Peralta will be gone.
02:00Holmes, presumably.
02:02I mean, I think at minimum it's going to be, Taylor will be gone.
02:05I think at minimum you've got a half dozen guys and you might have 10 or 12.
02:09I don't see how, at this point, Beatty, you know, Vientos is hurt,
02:13but Beatty and Vientos values are down.
02:16And, you know, I think they still have a chance.
02:19I'm not giving up, but in terms of trade value, it's nil, you know, at this point.
02:23Last year, if they had traded Beatty after last year,
02:26they could have gotten something for him.
02:27Yep.
02:28But not now.
02:29I thought he was okay at third, too.
02:31I don't know what you guys thought, but I.
02:33I thought he was okay at third.
02:34I just think he's been moving all over the place.
02:36And that's impacted his value, too.
02:38And he doesn't be able to find a home anywhere.
02:41Not his fault completely.
02:42Yeah, you'd hope that moving all over would raise his value.
02:46Right.
02:46If he can play.
02:47But I think he's a third baseman at this point.
02:52From what I've seen.
02:53So, John, you're hearing.
02:54Ken Rolethoff, I saw, said this, too.
02:57He said at least six Mets he think will get moved.
02:59You just said half a dozen.
03:00Ward even said he thinks it could be 10 or 11 here.
03:03You expect the Mets to be very active here by the time Monday rolls around next week.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Yeah.
03:08I mean, I think he could probably start with four relievers.
03:11So, yeah.
03:12And then you have the two starters.
03:14So, yeah.
03:14I think six is.
03:15And then Taylor for sure.
03:17So, I'd be surprised if it's anything less than seven.
03:20So, yeah.
03:22And then Paul made it a new stop there.
03:25I think he could start with five.
03:25So, yeah.
03:25So, yeah.
03:25You
