KLaw generally high on the state of the Mets, befuddled by Asdrubal:
He CANNOT play shortstop, and he hasn’t been able to play shortstop for several years now. So I don’t understand— I mean yes, this is the front office that decided Wilmer Flores could play shortstop, he really couldn’t play shortstop either— but then to go from Flores to Cabrera— is Cabrera really better than Flores, at anything? I mean Flores, I know the production wasn’t great, but the swing’s good, he puts the ball in play a lot, and I still think he’s going to come into some power, whereas Cabrera, outside of that one crazy first half power-wise he had with Cleveland a couple years ago, you kind of never got it. So I don’t understand— do they think they’re getting a better defensive shortstop than they really are? Do they think he’s going to turn into a 20 homer guy? Because I don’t believe that that’s the case.
I didn’t understand that signing at all. It’s part of why— somebody asked me about the Mets offseason— it’s great that they did spend some money, but what if they had taken the money they gave to Cespedes, and Cabrera, and Alejandro De Aza, and thrown it at one of the more premium free agents on the market. They could have done something better. Cabrera over Flores, I don’t even know if that’s an upgrade, and if it is, it’s a fairly small one.

AP:
"If you wake up Sunday morning and say, `OK, we're in', but we don't necessarily have home-field advantage, do we use Syndergaard?" Collins asked. "Or do we say, `He's going to pitch the first playoff game, no matter where it's at?"
If the Mets have clinched home-field advantage, they might start Syndergaard on Sunday and have him throw about 25 pitches to ensure he's sharp for the wild-card playoff game on Wednesday.
"Otherwise he goes eight days without pitching," Collins said.

I'd think Houston or Texas might be interested in Bruce as both clubs seem to always look to get Texans playing on their teams.
I could perhaps see the Reds trading Hamilton as they got 3 other CF players on the 40 man roster. Hamilton would definitely be handy in the Mets new stadium since it is pretty big as he can cover a ton of ground.
