Toronto would send Travis d’Arnaud, John Buck, and minor league pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Aaron Sanchez to the Mets (Puma, NY Post and McCullough, Star Ledger). The last player from the mets seems to be an A-baller. Probably one of their young good arms.

Compared to what you had behind home plate last year, Buck's an improvement. Also only a stopgap until D'Arnaud's ready.

If I am getting that package of prospects back, I don't really care that Buck will be a met. Plus as a backup he can be an average back up.

McCullough from the Star Ledger clarify and said it's 1 of synd or Sanchez. That is a bummer but I am still holding out hope to get both.

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. Mets finished in the bottom 10 in the standings so their pick is protected.

Well I don't think discussion will get this deep if the Blue Jays did not think that they can resign Dickey for the next couple of years. Though this trade is going at the speed of molasses which is quite frustrating.

Mets finished in the bottom 10 in the standings so their pick is protected. you know what then lets pick up for a year deal with some type of option for another year. i could tolerate an outfield of duda/nieuwenhuis/swisher for a year. C? 1B: Ike 2B; Murphy 3B: Wright SS: Tejada OF: Duda, Niuwenhuis, Swisher P: Johan, Niese, Harvey, Gee, ? Won't get us anywhere near the playoffs, but if they played up to full potential we can reach mediocrity

Somehow I just knew they were going to trade Choo and I was right.
Never fails, even with the 90's Tribe, every player that I picked as my favorite always wound up being traded at the end of the season.

Sounds like a deal gets done tomorrow night. Taking longer because medical records bit harder to get on weekend. So far it seems like:
Jays get: R.A. Dickey Josh Thole Top prospect not named Zack Wheeler (Flores? Nimmo? Fulmer?)
Mets get: Travis d'Arnaud John Buck Minor league pitcher (possibly Noah Syndergaard) Unnamed player (Rajai Davis? Moises Sierra? Danny Barnes?)
I'm LOVING this deal. d'Arnaud AND possibly Syndergaard? Hell yeah.
