Tigers/Mets/Diamondbacks

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After some individual negotiations, the 3 teams came together to work out the leagues 2nd 3 team trade...



D-Backs get:
   Renato Nunez, 1B/3B, Orioles.  2019/1M  2020/1M  2021/ARB1
   Will Smith, C, Dodgers.  2019/0.2M  Prospect
   Deury Carrasco, SS, Astros.  2019/0.2M  Prospect


Mets get:
   Dominic Smith, 1B, Mets.  2019/1M  2020/1M  2021/ARB1
   Desmond Lindsay, CF, Mets.  2019/0.2M  Prospect


Tigers get:
   Colin Moran, 3B, Pirates.  2019/1M  2020/1M  2021/ARB1
   Kyle Crick, RP, Pirates.  2019/1M  2020/1M  2021/ARB1
   J.T. Brubaker, SP, Pirates.  2019/0.2M  Prospect


For the D-Backs this deal was a swap of similar 3B and we picked up a couple prospects in doing so. We see Carrasco as a very young SS prospect that is a lottery ticket, but a good ticket to have. We also believe Smith will be a very solid catcher in the bigs.

Plus doing a 3 team deal is just fun!!

Thanks to Dominik of the Mets and Roger of the Tigers for making this happen and making it fun!

Tigers accept. After some individual talks and ideas in place it didnt take long to finalize among all 3 teams

[New York Mets]

The New York Mets accept this trade.

I tried to get Smith for several days but every trade idea was shot down. So it took a creative approach to finally get Dom to the fake Mets. Giving up two prospects and a young relief pitcher for a player with Smith‘s pedigree and upside is worth the gamble. Additionally achieving Lindsay as a throw in just made the deal easier for me although I honestly don’t have a lot of faith in this player.

Thanks to the Tigers and Diamondbacks GMs for the fun negotiations.

All the best toy Kyle, J.T. and Deurys with their new clubs.

Welcome to sunny New York Dominic and Desmond and as always let’s go Mets!
