What baffles me is that some writers are saying the Jays won't part with anything more than d'Arnaud in any scenario and yet they'd still want another prospect back from the Mets to "balance the deal".

So a proven Cy Young Award winner, 2 extra years on his deal, and a decent unproven prospect for a high-level but ultimately unproven prospect. It doesn't seem to make sense to me why the Mets would be the ones giving up more in the deal if Dickey agrees to the extra 2 years. Don't even say age...knuckleballers have a totally different age curve and the fact is the Mets are still getting an unproven prospect in return. d'Arnaud has been injured several times and is certainly a risk.

At this point I just want this to be finalized. I'm refreshing MetsBlog every 5 minutes seemingly.
