Guess the xray wasn't really negative...

Deep poo. Let's be honest though, those guys weren't giving the Mets anything offensively so far and I don't think many expected them to.

Nice opportunity to make a deal for Realmuto though. Who do you have to give up?

Nimmo for Realmuto?

The good news is this should get Rosario out of the 9 hole.

Honestly might consider something like that. Hate to deal Nimmo but what's he worth is he's in AAA or riding the bench?

I think the team should bring in a veteran like Montero first. Panicking and giving up a lot for a very good catcher might be foolish.

Very strange. Jose Lobaton played the entire game for Vegas yesterday afternoon, so the Mets obviously still didn't have an indication that his hand was broken as of that time.

I guess he didn't see the same hand specialist that Nimmo did a day earlier...

Or they sent the wrong guy to the hand specialist? #-o

I'm not going to deny that picking up Realmuto would be a big addition, but do the Mets really need that? Or would it be smarter for them to hold on to chips (especially Nimmo) and bring in veterans that can get the job done?
