Moore fine saying the Matz have
a deal in place pending Maki
Cristian Javier Ib--ez from the
Cubs.
That is a big deal getting Baez
going from Chicago to the New
York Mets.
Very exciting stuff.
Mark Feyereisen joins us now
with the very latest.
OK so walk us through this deal
and potentially what it would
take to get where are the Matzek
Canha to give up to get a guy
like this.
Well I can't walk you through
the whole deal other than to
tell you that Cristian Javier
Baez is going to be coming to
the Matz.
This is all still developing.
Details are coming in.
But you know we've been talking
for weeks about the Mets needing
to add a bat.
Chris Bryant was the guy that
most people were pointing to as
the good fit.
But I think the Lindor injury
certainly open the door for for
Baez to come in to play
shortstop while he's out and
Baez coming out on the record
and saying I want to play with
Lindor and I'm willing to play
second base to do that.
Probably planted a seed in the
Mets heads and all of a sudden
their attention shifted to Baez.
The deal is not done yet.
It's pending medicals.
We don't know the full return
yet but it appears that Cristian
Javier Baez is on his way to
Queens to play with the Mets.
This is a rarity even covering
New York baseball for a long
time Mark that the Mets actually
live up to on trade deadline
day.
The hype that we the ground
swell from all Mets fans they
lived up to it with this move
right.
Yeah.
I mean for the last forty eight
hours my Twitter feeds just been
loaded up with Mets fans saying
are we going to do anything.
And now all of a sudden they've
got their big move.
You know you pair this with the
Francisco Lindor trade from the
off season sort of pretty active
year for the Mets.
So adding Cristian Javier Baez
to Lindor.
Obviously they've got Jim Kaat
from coming back.
They've been in first place I
believe every day since May 8th.
So the Mets are certainly
they've seen what the what the
Braves have done.
The same with the Phillies have
done this to the Nationals and
the Marlins selling the
opportunities there.
The Mets are going for it not
only in the division but they
know those teams out west.
And a team like the Brewers are
going to be tough in October.
And this isn't like Sterling
Marte a rental to the Oakland
A's.
We're not going to bring him
back a pure rental.
You could see the Mets falling
in love with House Baez and
maybe he stays long term.
They would keep him right.
Sure.
They certainly have the money to
do that.
And if you look at his
relationship with Lindor what
Lindgren means to that team is
the face of the franchise with
his giant Diehl.
Yeah I can certainly see a
scenario where House Baez and
Francisco Lindora playing next
to each other for many years to
come.
I just saw a new detail there at
the bottom of the screen from
our own Ken Rosenthal.
Kean what is the other name
added to this.
Baez Diehl Trevor Williams the
pitcher.
And obviously the Mets have been
looking for rotation help.
In addition to Rich Hill they've
had all kinds of issues with
their rotation injuries.
As we know Carlos Correa Enrique
starts tonight his first start
of twenty twenty one.
So yes Trevor Williams is the
other player.
