Matt Harvey via trade this off season?

[NJHalo]

A lot of talk here on sports radio about how the Mets are getting sick of his shit.

 

Yesterday, he showed up late for practice, right before the biggest series in his career. Said he was stuck in traffic for hours.

 

He has Boras as an agent, so will be looking for some serious cash after 2018 when he is a FA

 

Coming off Tommy John, but looks good. Sounds like his teammates are growing weary of the so called Boras innings limit this season.

 

 

Would you want him, and what do you think it would take?

 

Mets are stacked at SP with Wheeler and Matz ready for full seasons next year. They need OF help.

Victorino and Cowgill for Harvey.  Get it done, Eppler.

If they want outfield help, it would take Calhoun and then every prospect we have not named Newcomb just to make sure they don't hang up the phone. But if the Mets were stupid enough to trade Harvey, the discussion would be "what are you giving us on top of Newcomb". So no, there is zero chance of it happening.

The Angels need OF help more than the Mets do.

Scott Boras, so no.

Riskier than picking up a hooker with running sores and a persistent cough.  Keep away, far away.

That's risky?  Should I be worried?

[Homebrewer]

Throw in Grant Green.

[gotbeer]

I'd rather throw money at the problem.  And there are free agent options this offseason that are just as good, worth throwing at.

As I see it, throwing money at the problem is the only way to fix it. We don't have the minor league depth to pull off a major trade, let alone the several that would be needed to really improve the team.

I hope Arte is prepared to spend money this off-season.

Oh man, if these are the threads I have to look forward to, it's gonna be a long winter.

[ukyah]

totally overblown media creation. here's his timeline: amazing pitcher. tommy john, doesn't care about innings limit/wants to pitch in postseason, gets stuck in traffic in tunnel, problem child.

[HaloCory22]

We have nothing they'd be interested in.

[AngelArcher]

Ain't happening, now let's explore a Bryce Harper trade or maybe Stanton. 

[Dick B Back]

Stanton, yeah!

[Tyler]

The Angels already had their Matt Harvey problems. Thats how he ended up with the Mets.

Not while Arte is here.

[yk9001]

Trading for a Boras client who is coming up on his free agent years.

 

What's not to like?

[Adam]

Seems douchey and a bit overrated

[Angel Oracle]

Hey GB, can you post your yearly anticipated salaries thread for next season's Halos team?

 

The OC Register made it seem like there was some $60 million available in luxury tax threshold room, but I am not believing that. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

You haven't begun to see the winter threads yet. This is only the beginning.

[Blarg]

There is no reason for the Angels to recruit a guy not respected in his own clubhouse.

[ABC]

The Mets aren't in the same division. Trade for Darvish. It makes the Rangers weaker and Angels stronger...like a two game swing. Also trade for Altuve...same benefit.

[Adam]

Lol and Seager too. I'm wit it

[fan_since79]

I can hear it now:

 

"What would it take for Harvey?"

 

"Heaney and Calhoun."

 

"Click..."

 

No, thanks.

That made me think, would trading Calhoun be absolutely crazy?

The Angels could sign two FA OFs - one with speed/OBP (Span) and one of Heyward/Upton/Cespedes.

 

Calhoun plus some starting pitching could fetch quite a haul and help replenish some areas of need.

 

I guess a more radical idea would be dealing Cron, signing two FA OFers, and having Calhoun morph into Erstad 2.0 where he splits his time between 1B with Albert and OF. DH shared between Albert and the OFers.
