The New York Mets announced a pretty massive trade on Monday. The team acquired Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz in exchange for five players. Fans seem thrilled that Jay Bruce is no longer going to be a member of the team and that his contract will no longer be on the payroll. Once more, dumping Swarzak as well seems to be another massive upgrade for the team. It is believed that the team also got around $20 million to help alleviate the Cano contract. 

The biggest blow in this deal, to me at least, is Kelenic. The 6th overall draft pick in the 2018 draft is believed to have a bright future ahead. The Mets really don't have too much depth in the prospect pool; nor do they have depth in the outfield. For 2019 the Mets should be much improved. For the future however, this trade could absolutely backfire.

The Yankees made pitching a priority this off-season. Patrick Corbin was part of the blueprint. However the team missed out on him due to the refusal of giving six years to the lefty. On top of that the money is astronomically high for someone who has not pitched as an ace. Let's see what the numbah one New York sports voice thinks.

It's back to the drawing board for the Yankees. Do they go and sign J.A. Happ? Dallas Keuchel? Nathan Evoaldi? Or do they make another trade? Brian Cashman will need to be creative. 

Sources close to Pardon My Take have informed us that Packers HC Mike McCarthy will be relieved of his coaching duties with an announcement coming as early as this week. Please credit Pardon My Take if this happens

The Green Bay Packers have fired head coach Mike McCarthy. The move came shortly after the team lost to the very bad Arizona Cardinals. Many fans have been expecting this move and to sit here and pretend to know if the move was justified would be wrong. However, at 4-7-1and only four weeks left in the season, I do have to ask why make this move now?

The Monday after week 17 is the biggest day for coaches getting fired. I don't think that this move creates a culture change that launches the Packers into a playoff team this year. So essentially why make a move now that won't even effect your team? To clarify I am not saying McCarthy should have kept his job. He's a very good coach and will be picked up in no time. The question to me is why make a move weeks too late? To me that's what this move screams. Too little too late.
