Part 11/13:
Given the current momentum, a Scoobel trade could happen as early as the winter meetings or even before Thanksgiving, with reports suggesting early December as a likely time. The matchup of teams, prospects, and financial flexibility indicates that the Mets, along with a few other big-market contenders, are gearing up for an all-in push.
Would the Mets Take the Risk?
Absolutely. If Scoobel is available, the Mets' front office seems willing to gamble—at least for this one-year rental—to secure a dominant ace. The team’s recent history of aggressive moves and willingness to spend big makes this scenario highly plausible.
