The GM's of the Mets, D-Backs, and Mariners have all come to agreement on a 3 way trade.
We believe this is the first in league history.
Mets get:
Matt Straham, SP, Padres (from SEA). 2019/1.02M 2020/ARB1
Julio Teheran, SP, Braves (from ARZ). 2019/11M 2020/TO 12M 2021/UFA
Matt Thaiss, 1B, Angels (from ARZ). 2019/0.2M prospect
Elehuris Montero, 3B, Cardinals (from ARZ) 2019/0.2M prospect
Francisco Alvarez, C, Mets (from ARZ) 2019/0.2M prospect
Mariners get:
Justin Upton, LF, Angels (from NYM). 2019/22.13M 2020/22.13M 2021/26.56M 2020/UFA
Quentin Holmes, OF, Indians (from ARZ). 2019/0.25M prospect
D-Backs get:
Jake Bauers, 1B, Indians (from SEA). 2019/1M 2020/1M 2021/ARB1
Chris Owings, super utility, Royals (from NYM) 2019/5.18M 2020/5.18M 2021/5.18M 2020/5.18M 2020/TO 7.77M
Wei-Yin Chen, SP, Marlins (from NYM) 2019/0.75M 2020/UFA
We looked at this as a chance to get our long term 1B. Bauers should thrive in Cleveland, and will also be adding OF qualification giving us more versatility. Chen is still a very useful SP. His numbers didn't support that last season after coming off of injury. He should be ready to be a solid back of the rotation guy for us this year. Owings had a horrible year last season. Moving to KC with their young lineup and being mid rebuild, he should get plenty of playing time as a super utility.
We gave a lot in Teheran and some very nice prospects, but we believe the addition of Bauers and Owings helps out team in the long run as well as immediately.
Thanks to the GMs from the Mets and Mariners for making this one fun to put together.
