I believe this is the first time I have ever seen someone write something positive about an Eppler trade.

Also heard good things about Vargas on the MLB channel on XM radio.  I guess we will know if this was a good move for sure sometime around 2027.

I get the disappointment.  I am sad the season is essentially over.  But if you can get good prospects for players that are going to be free agents, it makes sense.  If the Mets really want Robertson after the season, they can sign him as a free agent again.  This move is something a good team does to keep the farm system stocked for the future.

In a perfect world, Diaz completes a remarkable recovery and rejoins the team in early September.  The Mets have to navigate their way to the end of the season or the return of Diaz without Robertson.

Maybe Grant Hartwig or Drew Smith takes available of this opportunity and shows they can reliably close games.  Hope someone steps up because the bullpen was bad before the trade and we are likely going to see bad * 2 now.
