If goal is to prepare to be competitive in 18, none will bring back players that facilitate this goal but still willing to deal all but Bruce and Blevin for prospects even though none would be above B level Keep Blevin given have option on him (at reasonable cost), will get no major talent back and will need to find a left handed specialist next yr. Who out there is as good as Jerry B. Would try to sign Bruce. How many 30-40 home run men are out there and while Baron says Mets need CF; Cain only possibility and no guarantee would sign with Mets. Willing to go with Conforto in CF – has shown he is serviceable. Alderson record also not a s solid as you present. For Byrd got Herrera and Black- how much did they contribute. For Beltran got Wheeler – an A prospect- but keep in mind that in the 6 years since deal consummated ZW has won just 21 games and pitched about 350 innings. Dickey deal was a winner, but this was an off season trade when conditions are different.

But might as well try to get something while seeing what they have in Rosario, Smith, etc.
