i'm hearing a rumor that it's dickey,thole,parnell, and duda for Gose, and D'arnaud Huh while I like parnell that not a terrible deal for the mets. Would prefer a small piece coming back from the blue jays as well but it small. Also source? well like i said it's just a twitter rumor there's no possible way that this could be true but i just thought i'd like to share for some reason

Last update before I go to bed tonight. Rosenthal reporting D'Arnaud is very much in play and that it could end up being Dickey and others for D'Arnaud and others.
I'll predict:
Jays get: R.A. Dickey (who signs two year extension. Will be very good #2 starter for years to come.) Josh Thole (Can catch Dickey. Does stink though lol.) Wilmer Flores (A DH and probably a darn good one. Speed sucks but can hit.) Luis Mateo (Low level guy who could be #3 starter or shutdown closer.)
Mets get: Travis D'Arnaud (AAA to start, comes up around all star break.) Anthony Gose (Starting CF. Fast but very raw with bat.) John Buck (Opening day starter, backup to D'Arnaud later in season) PTBNL or cash
Probably a bit farfetched but it seems the deal is going to get bigger.

Hm I don't think it need flores and Mateo. I prefer giving them someone like Duda and Parnall rather than give up on flores. I think Flores can build up his value some more this year.

ken rosenthal is reporting that the mets and the blue jays are close to a deal and says that Gose and either Arrencibia or D'Arnaud could be included but the mets will have to give up more for D'arnaud
Please let it be D'arnaud

It seems we will get D'arnaud but we need to add more pieces, probably thole and either a young power arm in the minors or something like duda/Parnall

I know he probably won't be ready at the beginning of the season, but compared to what they had last year D'Arnaud would be a massive upgrade at catcher for the Mets. Gose isn't great in center, but it's hard to get much worse for the Mets back there. That Mets outfield was really pitiful, especially in the second half of the season.

On that note, any word about where Nick Swisher's going? I dunno if he signed with a team or not yet, but I think the Mets should at least entertain an offer for him and make a move if he isn't going to want a ridiculous contract. He's hit well in CitiField and is also a great clubhouse guy. I think he'd do a good job getting morale up for both the team and the fans.
Same for Cody Ross, too, really.

I think swisher will get a nice contract from texas or maybe the orioles who could really use another bat. Don't think the mets can afford him. Ross is ok but he was not very good on the road last year and citi field is not as friendly as fenway.

With the reports of the blue jays wanting more won't mind giving up some one like Murphy with dickey if it gets TDA and gose since while I like murph, he does not offer as much upside with the mets.

Swisher's not realistic for the Mets, especially since we'd have to surrender our first round pick (11th overall) to sign him. Not worth it.

Sources say that the principle of the deal is Dickey for D'arnaud with more players in it. Teams are looking at physicals for the players.

It seems that the Cards have signed Ty Wiggington to replace Skip as the utility man.
