Blevins spent the better part of last year and this spring pitching like AAA fodder. If you're gonna have a super LOOGY you can't rely on, don't waste 2.4 on him.
den Dekker has options and years of control. good for outfield depth behind the veterans.
Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 12s13 seconds ago#Mets took on Blevins’ entire $2.4M salary. Straight-up trade for den Dekker. No cash in deal.
Bad for the bullpen in the World Series or Bust year.
For a team that has all the pieces, they sure are adding a lot of pieces.

Any thoughts on who could be available?
Charlie and Dave must be thrilled.
Taylor needs to be the starting CF and play all year in the majors.This really hurts Gwynn's chances of being on the 25 man....I was rooting for him.
I don't hate his chances at this point. Frandsen might be done though. Espinosa on 3rd plus a new OF = You're redundant.
So who is the backup 2nd/SS/3rd baseman while Rendon is out?
Stewart 3B. Uggla 2B with Escobar sliding over if need be for a SS. Stewart and Gwynn should make the team. Or Uggla and Gwynn. I dunno. I'm just spitballing. But Frabdsen is bringing almost nothing at this point.
Looking at his power numbers,K + BB %, he looks like he cut down on his swing to make more consistent contact. Could be a nice bench player.
Yeah, I haven't seen him using that grit factor to as great of an impact as he could.
