Mets/Mariners trade

[Seattle Mariners]

Mets send
Nick Pratto

Mariners send
Phil Bickford
Anthony Volpe

Mariners were not able to easily give up either player but love the idea of adding Pratto as a long term solution at 1b or to be utilized in a DH role.

Thanks to Mets for an easy negotiation

[New York Mets]

Mets accept.
Pratto was a significant part of my longterm plans but I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to add a potential franchise player like Volpe. With Pratto being a better shortterm value than Volpe adding Bickford who will immediately slot into my bullpen sealed the deal for me.

I would like to thank the M‘s GM for the solid offer right off the bat and wish Nick all the best with his new organization.

Welcome to the reigning fake NL East champion, Phil and Anthony and as always…let’s go Mets!
