"The Dodgers have bullpen help, which the Mets need, and the price for Murphy wouldn't be prohibitive now, because he's had an off-year. But Murphy had always hit, before this year, and the Mets have long thought his best position is actually third base, where L.A. has a need."

No pressure, Sandy. Mets' biggest payroll commitments are David Wright ($20M) and Jon Niese ($5M). Plenty of room to spend.

Wouldn't tie Montero's promotion to Wheeler's promotion necessarily. There are placeholders at AAA (ie Carlos Torres). Prospects priority.

So I would just exhale for a second, let them sort it out internally and get on the same page, then proceed with exchange.
