It's not nearly the news of the Stanton trade, but Mike Harkey is returning. I'm a fan of the move. I didn't think he'd return, given he's good friends with Girardi.
Now can they turn Ellsbury, Frazier, or Gardner into a pitcher? There's no room for all of them.
So does the Stanton deal all but assure Torres gets the second base job coming into spring training?
Total hypothetical: the Mets are looking for a reliever for Matt Harvey. Would you do Harvey for Betances?
