The Management of the Mets and the Athletics would like to announce the following deal
The Mets receive:
Yandy Diaz, 3B, CLE 18/0.5 19/1 20/2 21/ARB1 22/ARB2 23/ARB3 24/UFA
The Athletics receive:
Nick Pratto, 1B, KC 0.3 - Prospect
Sean Murphy, C, OAK 0.4 - Prospect
The Mets management is excited to announce the aquisition of Yandy Diaz. He is young, handsome, funny, has incredible bat to ball skills and a top 5 exit velocity on batted balls in all of MLB. With a better launch angle he will be a Joey Votto at 3B. It hurts to give up Nick Pratto who might become Joey Votto in 2024 but the Mets want to compete in 2018. This deal also gave us the flexibility to move around Maikel Franco and Jedd Gyorko in later deals.
We thank the Athletics management for the quick and easy trade talks and wish Nick and Pratto all the best.
