Mets trade
Frankie Montas 12M/2023 12M/2024 12M/2025 TO 18M/2026 UFA/2027
JT Ginn Prospect
Henry Bolte Prospect
Tigers trade
Matt Boyd 5.5M/2023 5.5M/2024 5.5M/2025 UFA/2026
Jared Shuster Prospect
Guess who´s back? After pitching for the fake Mets from 2018-2020 Matt Boyd returns to Queens/Germany in shocking fashion. Most of my postseason activities focused on improving my pitching rotation but when news broke out that newly acquired co-ace Frankie Montas will be on the shelf at least for most of the 2023 season I decided that it was to time to put an early end to the Montas era in NY. Quickly after the Tigers GM approached me with the basic approach of swapping Montas for Boyd I found the idea of gambling on Boyd becoming a solid starter in his old home Detroit again (another homecoming...what a coincidence) worth sending talented but injured Frankie to fake Detroit.
Just as important as getting Boyd for my rotation is adding top prospect Shuster to my collection of young arms in the minors. I consider him an upgrade over Ginn who goes to the Tigers due to the Braves hurler´s better chances of making the MLB starting rotation. Adding 2023 draftee Bolte was necessary to compensate for the 6.5M in yearly salary difference between Montas and Boyd.
I would like to thank Roger for the always great trade talks and wish Frankie (thank you for nothing), JT and Henry all the best in the up and coming Tigers organization.
Welcome (back) to the big apple, Matt and Jared, and as always...let´s go Mets!
