July 31, 201511 yr I would be happy if it was Pollock, Archie Bradley, and one or two other prospects in return. In fact, I'd be ecstatic. I, too, would be ecstatic with that deal.
July 31, 201511 yr The divide between the clubs as of last night was whether or not Wheeler alone was sufficient to get a deal done, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets.

July 31, 201511 yr Seeing the Mets talk Wheeler with the Reds took me off guard. I'm back and forth on Bruce, but a big fan of Wheeler. I think with the emergence of DeGrom, Syndergaard and Matz people forget the work Wheeler did and the ceiling he has. #6 prospect in 2012 and did nothing but prove that ranking was legit during his time in the bigs. He's big time if he can regain form after TJ surgery which these days is fairly common.
July 31, 201511 yr I'd say no, but I do love the fact that Wheeler won't be a FA before 2020. The thought of having Wheeler and Stephenson headlining the rotation for many years is very exciting.
July 31, 201511 yr 8:38am: The clubs are reviewing medicals on Bruce and Wheeler, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports (Twitter links). He adds that it remains unclear whether other players are involved.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @AdamRubinESPN: #Mets and #Reds doing due diligence on Zack Wheeler and Jay Bruce. Pretty far along. Don't know if another player would be involved.

July 31, 201511 yr The thought of having Wheeler and Stephenson headlining the rotation for many years is very exciting. With Finnegan potentially sandwiched in between....
July 31, 201511 yr Saw Mets fans on Twitter asking why no one remembers Jay Bruce 2014...:lol2: most don't look to be excited about this deal.
July 31, 201511 yr With Finnegan potentially sandwiched in between.... Disco is very solid as well and then Bailey. Other options Lamb, Reed, Garrett, Travieso and so many others it's unreal. The bullpen should be lights out as well with guys like Lorenzen and Iglesias in there. Crawford and Howard still have what it takes to be dominant relievers as well. Zack Weiss has looked dominant thus far in his minor league career. Very excited about this rebuild or re-tooling.
July 31, 201511 yr Author @jaysonst: #Yankees may be getting tired of waiting around for #Padres on Kimbrel. Hear they're also talking to #Marlins about Carter Capps
July 31, 201511 yr Saw Mets fans on Twitter asking why no one remembers Jay Bruce 2014...:lol2: most don't look to be excited about this deal. I'd counter that they don't remember the Bruce of 2011, 2012, & 2013 then. He's the most consistent production you're going to find. Every year (2014 excluded) it's .250 with 30 HRs and ~85 RBI.
