There were 4 to 5 teams that had serious trade discussions with the #Mets for Justin Verlander, GM Billy Eppler said, and it came down to two finalists this afternoon before he was dealt to the #Astros.

Billy Eppler said he has had a conversation with Pete Alonso's representatives, but not yet with Alonso about the direction of the Mets.

NY #Mets GM Billy Eppler on trading away his Cy Young winners and others: "You have to go through a little pain to get where we want to go. ...Our organization is making strides for a better future.''

But still vows to field a competitive team in 2024.

Detroit Tigers GM Scott Harris on Eduardo Rodriguez vetoing his deal with the LA #Dodgers: "We reached a deal he was not comfortable with.''
Harris says Rodriguez is comfortable in Detroit, and it's possible they work out an extension to keep him him exercising his opt-out.

Kudos to the #Orioles for buying at the deadline with the acquisition of #STLCards starter Jack Flaherty, sending prospects Drew Rom, Cesar Prieto and Zack Showalter to St. Louis.

So, if nothing else, the #Mets trades squashes any idea that #ShoheiOhtani could be coming their way.
Ohtani wants to win now, not in 2026.

The Guardians had no room for Josh Bell once they acquired 1B prospect Kyle Manzardo yesterday. If they didn't trade him now, they would have unloaded him during the winter.

Now that the #Dodgers have been rebuffed for #Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez, the asking price for #STLCards starter Jack Flaherty and #WhiteSox ace Dylan Cease certainly rises. The Dodgers still want one more starter.

The #Marlins, vying for wild-card berth, certainly are going all in. Burger has 25 homers in 294 at-bats this year.
