When was the last time a PTBNL was good?
This trade sucks. There is hope that it gets better but I doubt it.

Looks better depending on who the PTBNLs are. Not sure why you'd wait to announce those unless the players are of little consequence or maybe rule 5 players that could possibly be returned...I'd rather have Lee

Yeah like I saw mentioned, there was no reason to make the move unless the return was good. I thought he killed the Mookie deal given the predicament he was thrust into, wouldn’t shock me if he kills this one too

I guess we can still dream on one more more of the PTBNL being something significant. Still weird the Mets appear to be giving up so little for Lee.

Okay point taken, but I doubt we are getting prospects the caliber of Tatis and Turner for Benintendi

Hopefully they're better than the PTBNL we got for Osich! Has that happened or do I still have the chance to troll ppl by posting Osich insta posts in that thread to make them think it’s been announced?

The PTBNL for Osich was the friends we made along the way.

Turning Benintendi into Cordero, Winckowski and 3 PTBNLs is a pretty decent haul to me. Have too many Debbie Downers on this board.

I don't get what the point is of announcing the deal before you have the PTNBLs. Presumably the Mets are giving up some real value. And "two PTNBLs" suggests that the Royals portion isn't just a placeholder for a a bag of baseballs.

If they don't get something better out of this trade its an embarrassing way to waste resources

Hopefully this increases the PTBNL return a bit

Meanwhile... what the heck is the Royals' angle here? They gave up a real prospect and took on more salary for a very questionable guy with 2 years of control when the team isn't any good?

The Mets turned 1 PTBNL into Khalil Lee.. hm okay then. Was hoping they were at least the ones paying for part of Benis contract. Dont really see why they were involved in the deal at all. What are the rules now on trading a player after drafting them? Could the PTBNL be somebody they drafted this year?

Pretty soon we'll be able to field a full team of PTBNLs.
Having to watch this trade trickle in via twitter was painful, the only thing worse would've been Nightengale chiming in telling us we got a better prospect from the Mets.

Wow....after all this....nobody here can really judge the trade...3 PTBNLs and the Mets seemingly giving up so little otherwise....real chance there is an exciting guy in there, possibly nothing... just have to wait...huh

He seems intriguing enough but jeez still winckowski and a PTBNL for Lee seems like a steal. Stands to reason the sox could have got Lee instead of winckowski and the PTBNL. Going to take years to see who made the better choice on that one I guess.

I would be steaming mad if I were a Royals fan They overpaid for Benintendi by A LOT. That being said, they have basically no future payroll commitments and can keep Benintendi for a long time if the bat isn't cooked.

People are acting like Lee is a bonafide stud prospect, I haven’t seen him ranked higher than 6 in the royals system
Don’t get me wrong- he seems incredibly interesting and he’s not a guy I’d complain about having- but people are acting like this is a top 50 guy
