Mets and Rangers have agreed on a Max Scherzer trade but it is pending Scherzer’s approval

In for a dime, in for $43.333 million, plus $14 million for the rest of this year.

Glad he’s out of the NL East and I can root for him again

Max trade is just pending a few details. No names of who the Rangers traded to the Metsies. Or how much Cohen will pay of Max's salary.

It's supposedly Acuña's younger brother going to the Mets. A SS.

Mets covering all but 22.5 million

Gotta think verlander is as good as gone too

That’s what ESPN is reporting.

Cards in sell mode.  Rangers hurting some for SP with Eovaldi now going on the IL, so Montgomery and Scherzer are nick of time acquisitions.

Dodgers and Mets discussing verlander per nightingale

looks like we will be seeing Mark Canha again soon.

Orioles pursuing verlander as well

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I am taking it as a good sign that the Twins haven't pulled the trigger on a deal. I think both Finnegan and Thomas could end up there.

[Natsinpwc]

Padres are supposedly in on Verlander also. Preller just cannot stop himself can he?

What’s the definition of insanity?

Is Mark Canha that much better than Dickerson?

Substantially

Jays acquire Paul DeJong. Bichette was hurt last night. I don't know if this consumes some interest and bidding capital on the part of the Jays. Twins are supposed to be in on Teoscar.

Verlander to houston

Luckily the Mets are not in a sell off. Mister Met would be gone then.

Verlander to houston

Feinsand reports.  Mets to get Houston's #1 prospect, who is only #68 overall. Drew Gilbert (OF) plus a second A ball OF who is the #4 Astro prospect.

I wonder what Pete Alonso thinks now. On Saturday night, he said he was "confused" about the Mets direction. Lindor said that he had been assured the Mets intended to make the playoffs...this year. All this leaves Alonso, Lindor, Nimmo, and McNeill, plus whatever their farm system tosses up and whatever free agents Cohen wants to buy this off-season.

Being Metsie.

And good for Dusty.
