[Mets GM (Walt)]

The NY Mets trade

Michael Conforto-$11m, FA
Dom Smith-$2.75m, arb 2, arb 3, arb 4
Andres Gimenez-$600k, $750k, arb 1, arb 2, arb 3
Mark Vientos-MiLB

To the KC Royals for

Whit Merrifield-$6.75m, $2.75m, $6.5m
Salvador Perez-$13m, FA
Adalberto Mondesi-$3m, arb 2, arb 3


A win now move.

I love Conforto but I figured if I was going to have a FA bat, it made more sense getting a catcher.

Overall, what Whit and Mondesi bring to my team will probably fill my teams needs more than what I gave up for them, or so I’m hoping.

Great talks with Jacob and happy to get this one done.

Confirmed. I approached Walt about Conforto and this ended up being the final deal. I give up my three most valuable pieces, but I was looking for young, cheaper position players to hopefully match up with my stable of young pitchers.
