The Mets Just Traded For Marcus Stroman...Wait, What?!?

What the fuck is going on?!? I was all content with the Mets completely bumbling this deadline by selling off veterans to pay for the Wilpons’ Labor Day party only to watch those veterans improve substantially while playing for a franchise with an actual brain then get slapped across the face with a Marcus Stroman trade out of the fucking clouds. It seemed like there was a chance that Stroman would end up in New York and he does. Instead it was to the team seven games under .500 run by a chucklehead and an agent instead of a legitimate World Series contender.

I guess the Mets only being 6 games out of the 2nd Wild Card spot had the Mets looking to add talent at the deadline instead of ship it off. Forget that the Mets have to jump pretty much every team in the National League to claim that Wild Card. Then again, trading young, talented prospects to buy high on a guy that is only under control for another season in a year where you need a lot to break right to make the playoffs is as much a Mets move as a PR disaster or Citi Field lighting on fire. Hopefully Stroman balls out like we know he can and the Mets get hot enough to make September matter. Oh yeah and did you know Marcus Stroman is from Long Island? Because if you didn’t, it’s all you are going to hear for the next week.

Waiting to find out what Brodie included in the trade was one of the longest wait in my life. All options were a possibility in my head. Noah Syndergaard, Pete Alonso, the first born child of every Mets fan. Instead it’s two young pitching prospects sacrificed so the Mets can chase a 2nd Wild Card they have a microscopic chance of getting. But this is how the Wilpons run the Mets. They don’t make the big moves or pay for superstars. Instead they give Mets fans jussssst enough hope to make it week by week, year by year. The Mets are our drug and the Wilpons are our dealers. Fuck drug dealers*.

*No offense if you are a drug dealer #TheGameIsTheGameYo)

Despite all this, I cannot wait to see a guy like this get embraced by Mets fans.

I also cannot wait to see a guy like this deal with the daily circus that is the New York Metropolitans.

Okay, I think I am officially in on this trade after seeing that Brodie broke Hubbs like Bane broke Batman, future be damned.
