Mets/Tigers

[Tigers GM (Peter)]

Tigers send:
Willi Castro (600k pre arb)
Isaac Paredes (500k pre arb)
Spencer Turnbull (750k pre-arb)
Joey Wentz (MiLB)

Mets send:
Brett Baty (MiLB)
Pete Crow Armstrong (MiLB)
Alex Ramirez (MiLB)
Mets 2021 2nd

Probably my trade I’m most excited for. Not big on Castro or Paredes (not even convinced Paredes is really 21 haha!) or their role on the tigers long term. Boyd made no sense to keep around, and with 4 (potentially 5) better pitching prospects in the system, Wentz coming off TJ felt fine to move. Return speaks for itself, with 3 top-half bats coming in return, and potential 5 tool players in PCA and Ramirez. The pick is a sweetener, and will hopefully we used to trade up in the draft or grab some pitching.

Thanks Walt for all the back and forth on this.

Confirmed.

I gave up some good kids here, but I’ve been high on Paredes for a while and believe he and Castro will get every chance to lock down permanent positions with a bad Tigers team.

Boyd gives me a arm I believe has the stuff to bounce back with and Wentz is a long term play I believe works out.

Great dealing with Peter on this as we got this done early.

Slight issue with this one, guys.

Constitution Section VIII.4.b
"d. A team control or arbitration contract (see Article V.2.b) may not be reduced. Only fixed value contracts may be reduced."

Reply to this thread with either a revised deal and reconfirmation by the second team, or just post "void" if you are not continuing with the deal.

Mets and Tigers have mutually agreed to swap Matthew Boyd for Spencer Turnbull in this trade.

Original post updated to reflect, and apologies for the confusion.
