The New York Mets and the Detroit Tigers have agreed to a blockbuster. Here are the specifics:
Mets trade
Willson Contreras, C, STL
Contract: 12.24M/2023-2025 TO 18.36M/2026 UFA/2027
Joey Wentz, SP, DET
Contract: 0.5M/2023 0.75M/2024 1M/2025 ARB1-3/2026-2028 UFA/2029
Brian Anderson, 3B/RF, MIL
Contract: 5.63M/2023 UFA/2024
Ryan Pepiot, SP, LAD
Contract: 0.5M/2023 0.75M/2024 1M/2025 ARB1-3/2026-2028 UFA/2029
Byron Buxton, CF, MIN
Contract: 10.94M/2023-2026 TO 16.41M/2027 UFA/2028
Tigers trade:
Joey Gallo, 1B/OF, MIN
Contract: 5.61M/2023 TO 8.42M/2024 UFA/2025
Bryce Elder, SP, ATL
Contract: 0.75M/2023 1M/2024 ARB1-3/2025-2027 UFA/2028
Cody Bellinger, CF, CHI
Contract: 18M 2023&2024 24M/2025 TO 36M/2026 UFA/2027
Watching the underwhelming 2023 version of the proud fake Mets franchise disappoint on a daily basis made me sick to my stomach so after falling below .500 this weekend I decided that it is time for a major shake up. This trade improves my starting pitching (Elder) which I had been trying to do for some weeks, adds an urgently needed extra 1B (Gallo) after losing Pasquantino to IL until further notice and gives me a new look in CF for the coming years (Bellinger). Pepiot is the only player that hurts to see going to another organization - I was tired of the rest.
I would like to thank the Tigers GM to help finalizing this big trade and wish Byron, Willson, Ryan, Joey and Brian all the best with their new team.
A warm welcome to Panic City, Joey, Bryce and Cory, and as always...let´s (f..ing) go Mets!
