It would be nice if the Rays made a deal or two. Anyone not named Archer, McGee, Longo and Souza would be solid role players for a contender and still keep our core in tact for a run next year with healthy pitching.
Pretty good move for the Mets. Gomez has been bad this year but he is really good so have to assume he'll get it going. Might be reenergized by the trade.Rumor is Wheeler and Flores for Gomez.
He is not the so called "power bat" they were looking for, but he adds elements we sorely lacked...speed and athleticism in our every day line up. Adding Uribe, Johnson, Clippard, and Gomez is great. I did have a soft spot for Flores, mostly because I saw him in Vegas all the time. I like Wheeler, but he won't be full strength for 2 years.Pretty good move for the Mets.

Sadly I think the guy we get is Bruce, nice player, but we are lefty dominant.Now being reported that Gomez to the Mets isn't happening & will not happen before the deadline.I assume they will now turn their focus to J. Upton, J. Bruce, or Y. Cespedes?
I'm in. 3 -4 years of Hamels is going to be worth it.A lot of reports out there saying Hamels is a Ranger. Philly gets Alfaro, Nick Williams, and Jared Eickhoff. Both Williams and Eikhoff pulled early in their games.
Not even close. They didn't give up Gallo, Mazara or Ortiz. The only thing they really gave up was Alfaro (that was big) and Williams.Rangers gave up their entire farm system.

Someone tell me how a Phillies fan should feel about this. I don't know what to do with my hands.
Definitely how I feel about it from what I can tell. Seems like a pretty fair deal.Be Happy. You got some good talent. Alfaro, Williams, Eickhoff, and Thompson should see the majors. For me losing Thompson stings the most.
