Robertson trade was a fair trade, imo... I think the Mets did pretty well for trying to trade a reliever going on 39, the two guys that you got look pretty good. I mean they are no sure shot AA ball player, but what do you think you're gonna get for a reliever who will be turning 39... who in their right mind is gonna give up a top prospect for that? Ok, maybe the Angels... but other than them. Or maybe if you find a team in contention that just lost their closer.

The Mets prove once again that money can't buy a World Series Championship -

The most expensive roster in major league history was a failure. The Mets’ superfan owner, Steven A. Cohen, committed nearly half a billion dollars this season to learn a timeless lesson easily forgotten when pursuing World Series glory: Money guarantees nothing.

Looks like SAC has deep pockets since he is writing the check for $35M to unload Scherzer.
