The Padres trade:
RP Adam Ottavino (COL) $4.30
3B Justin Turner (LAD) $19.30
OF Mallex Smith (TB) A - 4 of 7 $8.70
P Adrian Morejon (SD) $0.30
OF Tristan Pompey (MIA) $0.30
CHW 2019 4th Round Pick Amateur Draft
Mets Trade:
SP Corey Kluber (CLE) $35.00 $35.00 $35.00
$10M in 2019, 10M in 2020
In a vacuum this trade looks weird when people know the direction my team is heading in. But, pitching wins championships and I am adding a bona fide ace in Kluber for some guys that I was looking to ship out anyways and I add 7.9M in cap this season on top of it.

Mets Accept.
I look at this trade in a way I look at building my teams in these kinds of leagues. Yes, having studs is important, but if you don't have enough behind said studs, you won't ever make it as far as you want (unless what you want is mid-pack all the time haha).
On top of that, one thing I really prefer in deep baseball leagues is to build around hitters, not pitchers.
Lastly, I entered and didn't like how bare the farm was, so adding upside to the farm was a key interest.
In this deal, I send a stud pitcher for multiple starters on offense (2 400-point guys), an Elite reliever, a Top100 guy in Morejon who is showing massive upside especially considering his age, and another high upside spect in Pompey who could be a good 5 category guy
In the end, I deal a stud SP to downgrade to an elite RP and 2 good offensive starters, pick up 2 really good (in my eyes) prospects, and lose a little cap.
However 8M out of the 70 that I have won't change my FA plans. The addition of 2 offensive starters and not needing to spend as much on the bullpen does change FA plans though and will maybe allow me to feel more comfortable to drop big bucks on a stud since depth is figured out better
Good luck Denver
