Five minutes later,

Sandy will say Mets' deal for Cepesdes will not transpire.

Assuming it's Wheeler, what can Mets fans tell me about him?

 

[andrewstevens]

"pending medical review"

 

[jpzx]

Cespedes to the Mets, just announced on MLB Network.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Hope Cespy does well there if in fact he is traded.

Assuming it's Wheeler, what can Mets fans tell me about him?

He's good. His mechanics suck. Don't expect anything close to 200 innings.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 39s40 seconds ago New York, USA

cespedes goes to mets for two minor leaguers

 

[d3si]

Assuming it's Wheeler, what can Mets fans tell me about him?

Don't get your hope up. He has one of the worst pitching mechanics I've ever seen. He struggles with his control. You may see a lot of walks from him.

They keep Wheeler by not doing the C.Gomez trade, and get Cespedes. I'd say that turned out just fine.

I don't think Tigers had much leverage. Cespedes was going to be a FA and they wouldn't of been able to offer him a qualifying offer cause of a clause in his contract.

 

[macbk]

Two minor leaguers? Wonder who.

 

[d3si]

Whoa, Wheeler is staying?!

Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick
The #Rangers are holding onto Yovani Gallardo, source says.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i'll believe it when he suits up in citi field

 

[andrewstevens]

I would assume Nimmo is one of them.

Heyman just said they're not giving up Wheeler.

Boston not doing anything:

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 1m
The #Redsox also staying pat

 

[mr marcus]

Mets got him :x

 

[d3si]

Hopefully it isn't Michael Fulmer. I really like Fulmer.

 

[second2nonee]

Cubs get Tommy Hunter

 

[jpzx]

Rosenthal: Tommy Hunter to the Cubs, no deal at all for San Diego.

 

[andrewstevens]

I was expecting some crazy last minute trade.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Fire AJ Preller

Fire Sandy Alderson

Cespedes is a good look for the next 2 months.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Yanks only made one move, good! Didn't want a whole bunch of moves
