NYM/Hou

[Mets GM (Walt)]

The New York Mets trade:

George Springer-$16.5m, FA

To the Houston Astros for:

Marco Gonzales-$12m, $15m(opt)
Jurickson Profar-2yrs @ $6.5m
Pedro Leon-MiLB
Colin Barber-MiLB
Mitch Bratt-MiLB
The rights to Houston’s 2025 2nd Rd Pick

Jason wanted Springer, so we kicked this around and settled here.

Took Marco and Profar to make the money work.

I’ve been a Leon and Barber fan for a while now and I hope the Astros get them to the show and Bratt was an interesting pitching lotto ticket to grab.

Good working with Jason and good luck to Houston.

[Astros GM (Jason)]

HOU confirms.

I was in need of an outfielder and needed to make space in my salary cap.
Good working with the Mets and good luck in the future
