[Mets GM (Walt)]

The New York Mets trade

Jorge Soler-$4.025m, FA
Jameson Taillon-$2.25m, arb3
Greg Jones-MiLB


To the Detroit Tigers for

Gary Sanchez-$6.35m, arb3


Went back and forth and settled on Pete’s initial offer after I asked on Gary.

Taillon, although talented, has been inconsistent for me and he along with Soler are just salary to match.

Lose Greg Jones, who I’m high on but I like what Gary brings to my team albeit with a few k’s more than I like.

I can slot him in on Salvy’s off days and not be as drastic of a drop off in production as it’s been up to now.

Good working with the Tigers and good luck to them on their rebuild, may it be faster than the real life version...

[Tigers GM (Peter)]

Tigers accept.

Taillon has some some glimpses since returning from TJ, so we're happy to retain control in hopes of a recovery and flip-scenario. Likewise with Soler, albeit on a shorter clock, but worth the chance given he's only 500 AB's removed from a 48 HR campaign.

I'm quite shallow when it comes to MI prospects, so Jones is a welcomed piece to the franchise.

Thanks Walt for the chat, and glad we got this one sorted out.
