MLB trades

The New York Yankees and New York Mets both had active off-seasons, but received very different grades for their efforts. Do you agree with these offseason marks?

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has not gotten his bosses a World Series ring since 2009. This is the franchise that holds the Major League record for the trophy with 27 of them. So, the pressure may be building. This offseason Cashman overhauled his infield and got a few healthy players back. Now, some are questioning if Cashman is really finished tinkering.

Unfortunately, Eickhoff says a lot about the Mets organizational pitching depth. Thankfully, Tylor Megill has come up and been a nice surprise. However, after that any real Mets pitching prospect is at least a few years away. The Mets AAA team in Syracuse is dead last in the league in pitching, sporting a whopping 6.18 ERA. ERA is meaningless some say? The Syracuse Mets are last in wins as well. How about AA Binghamton? Arms are on the way, right? Well, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies are second to last in the league in pitching.

A Syracuse-born Major League Baseball outfielder was acquired in a trade by the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Again.

The New York Mets have fallen on hard times after a pretty promising start so the call is out there for them to at least consider being sellers. Now here's the issue, the best fit to make a deal is the Mets hated neighbor the Yankees. Buster attempts to explain to the Mets and anyone who will listen why this is a good idea to deal with each other. Does he think they'll buy in?
