The New York Mets and Miami Marlins have agreed on a deal.
Mets receive
Pick 7 round 2 in the 2018 amateur draft
Marlins receive
Pick 14 round 2 in the 2018 amateur draft
2.5m international pool money
In January 2018 the Mets front office decided to concentrate on aquiring top talent in the (presumably very deep) upcoming amateur draft and totally neglect the international prospect pool. After already trading 2.5m pool money earlier this year I have now spent the rest on moving up in the draft board. It´s only a small step but I assume that some of the players I am already scouting heavily should still be available around pick 35-40. Now having three picks within the first 37 in the draft I hope to build a strong foundation for the Mets future.
I would like to thank the Marlins front office for the swift negotiations.
Let´s go Mets!
