It’s a well known fact just ask anyone of the Sandy lovers why no one we have in our system is tradable they will tell you they are all worthless….

Except Wheeler and Nimmo because you know GOD picked them!

At $20 million for the next three years, are you kidding?

That’s why we are not going anywhere – obtaining that type of player and only giving up one’s sixth ranked prospect most any other team would take in a heartbeat other than us – Sandy won’t spend the money even though he makes for a good lead off hitter and has great range in the outfield.

Yes Span and a few other smart moves – including Wright and R.A. – could both put the Mets right back in contention and many fans right back in their seats.

This from MLB Rumors:

The Nationals announced that they acquired center fielder Denard Span from the Twins for minor league right-hander Alex Meyer. The Twins have confirmed the deal.

Span, 28, provides the Nationals with an established center fielder. His presence will presumably keep Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth in outfield corners. It could also impact the Nationals’ interest in Adam LaRoche, since Michael Morse’s primary position might now be first base. Alternatively, the Nationals could move Morse to a team seeking offense and continue pursuing LaRoche.

Span posted a .283/.342/.395 batting line in 568 plate appearances with Minnesota in 2012, numbers that compare closely to his career mark of .284/.357/.389. The five-year MLB veteran will earn $4.75MM in 2013 and $6.5MM in 2014. His contract includes a $9MM club option for 2015 with a $500K buyout.

Meyer, the 23rd overall selection of the 2011 draft, pitched well in 2012, his lone season as a pro. He pitched at Class A, posting a 2.86 ERA with 9.7 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 129 innings. The 6’9″ 22-year-old might rank sixth among Twins prospects, John Manuel of Baseball America notes (on Twitter).

Kudos for reading between the lines regardng “wholesale” .

LOL that’s a pretty damn good point.

Bay, Hairston (most likely), Cedeno (most likely), Rauch, Ramirez, Pelfrey, Torres, Young, Shoppach, Acosta are all out. New players will be brought in.

Changes will occur. Will the new players be any better? Other than Bay, not likely.

Alderson said wholesale changes not wholesale improvements.

The one thing this Front office has been consistent with throughout it’s tenure here is “inconsistency”….

Sandy Alderson’s snaked tongue lawyer roots taking center stage…Double talking at its best, cant believe anything he says.

The team is seriously worst off now and seems to have no direction. And this FO just plays it by ear there are no means to and end with them.

But then again I have come to realize that anything this FO says the plan is will be completely reversed within the week….

How can you make and rebuild a competitive team when you can’t even make up your mind one way or the other?
