Mets-Tigers

[Deleted]

Tigers trade
Ketel Marte 18/2.4 19/arb1

Mets trade
Jose Iglesias 18/7.38 19/ufa
Thairo Estrada .2 minors
Sean Reid-Foley .2 minors

Tigers accept. Jose Iglesias gives me a starter to replace Marte at SS in the short term. Long term, I have Nick Gordon coming along, hopefully this season, and I also believe that Raul Mondesi will still get a chance to take the SS job in KC. Thairo Estrada, though not one of the Yankees’ top prospects, makes really good contact and should also stick in the middle infield, and could be up at some point this season. Sean Reid-Foley is a guy I’ve liked for a cpl seasons now. He’s got a nice 4 pitch mix and he’s learning to control the strike zone. Scouts love his makeup and mound presence, which is something I always like to hear. He should be very close to getting a shot in the majors at some point this season.

The Mets management accepts this trade. I was looking for a young shortstop and Marte is the perfect solution forming a platoon with Chris Owings. Giving away Iglesias was a no brained since Ketel will take his place for a lesser salary. Reid- Foley and Estrada had to be added to make this a balanced trade for both teams.

I would like to thank the Detroit management for the quick deal and wish Shawn and Thairo all the best with their new organization.

Welcome to New York, Ketel and let's go Mets!
