MIA/DET

[New York Mets]

MIA receives Jordan Zimmerman, SP, Detroit Tigers
18/24/24/25UFA

DET receives Max Fried, SP, Atlanta Braves
0,2 - Prospect

Reason for trade: I was looking for additional depth at SP and get that with Zimmerman. With 55 Mio cap space his bad contract doesn't bother me. In return DET gets one of Atlanta's top young arms. Fried was a No. 7 pick in the 2012 draft and has a 55 rating in the 2017 BA Prospect Handbook. Over a year removed from TJS he has a good chance to start for Atlanta at the end of this season. Basically I take over one of MLB worst contracts in exchange for a very talented young Starting Pitcher.

Detroit accepts. After Zimmermann got blown up yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to get much more from him while also clearing his salary. I've already fallen out of the race this year, and Zimmermann has no future in my rotation. Fried has a chance to move quickly, now 2 years removed from TJS. A top 10 pick when drafted out of high school, he has the talent to be a fixture in my rotation possibly as soon as late this summer.
