In a minor league trade the Mets & D-Backs have come to agreement on the following deal...
Mets get:
Gavin Cecchini, 2B/SS, Mets. 2018/0.2M - prospect Pick 1/8 in the 2018 minor league draft
D-Backs get:
Evan Skoug, C, White Sox. 2018/0.2M - prospect Josh Rojas, 2B, Astros. 2018/0.2M - prospect Pick 1/14 in the 2018 minor league draft
We took this opportunity to add Skoug for some MiLB depth and Rojas, currently at AA and hitting close to .300 for the year with 22 SB. Rojas gets us a little talent at a position we are very weak at and may not be able to address in the draft due to it being maybe the weakest position in this year's deep draft class.
Dropping down a few spots in the draft didn't bother us because of the 3 targets we have for the 1st round at least 2 of them should be available at that spot. The deal also eliminates the need to go 2B early.
Thanks again to Dominik who always makes the negotiations easy and the conversation good! It's appreciated.

The New York Mets accept.
I continue working on getting top talent to NY’s Minor League system. Moving up in the draft should ensure to get one of my top targets. Cecchini is a former first rounder who has a solid season himself.
Thanks again to ARZ for the great trade talks and all the best for Evan and Josh!
Welcome to NY Gavin and as always let’s go Mets!
