Honestly this just feels like a heist for the Mets if it's just Flores and Wheeler. Flores has been horrible on defense and his bat has been non-existent for over a month.
Wheeler won't be back until June at the earliest. I think he has the chance to develop into an incredible pitcher and I wish him the best, but the Mets have an embarrassment of pitching riches right now. And let's be real...no team in baseball could afford to keep Harvey, deGrom, Thor, Matz, AND Wheeler once they all hit their arbitration years. They needed to move someone. Plus they evidently kept Michael Fulmer who might be their next big arm on the horizon.
And they somehow kept Lagares too, evidently. They may as well just give him Tommy John Surgery. He no longer has a starting spot and it's clear his elbow has been bothering him all year.
