More and more I'm thinking I should make the deal. They'd get an immediate HUGE boost to their catchers, and I'd get out of a contract, and I'd be taking back 13.5m in salary to offset some of the salary left on d'Arnaud's deal.
Here's the deal I have in place right now (June 6th, 2023)
Mets trade: Travis d'Arnaud 54 rating (3.67 years, 64.3m left on deal), AAA OF prospect Dan McCoy (34 cur, 51 pot), AAA OF Claudio Flores, AAA SP Alex Meyer (31 rating), AA 1b Ronald Nowak (59 cur, 66 pot), $6m in cash
Pirates trade: 1b Prince Fielder 21 rating (9.04m left), SP Manuel Torres (5.7m left), A OF Jordan Koch (21 cur, 46 pot), A- C Tomas Gonzalez (21 cur, 33 pot)
So, BASICALLY, they get immediate help at catcher, lose 2 horrible contracts, get cash, and a couple of good prospects. I'm eating basically 20.74m of the 64.3m left on the deal. I think it's pretty fair for both sides, but what do you guys think?
