Blue Jays trade: Jake Junis 3 of 7 $0.8M Troy Stokes Jr. Spec Mets Trade: Ian Happ 3 of 7 $0.8M Jose Iglesias Type A 6 of 7 $6.6M NYM 2019 3rd Round Pick Blue Jays Accept. I was looking for a 3rd baseman and a depth SS. I address both of those with this trade. Happ had 20 appearances at 3rd last season, and get Iglesias to back up Story. This also give me a little more roster flexibility. I think Happ is a good candidate for a bounce back to what he was his rookie year. At least I am hoping so with this trade. I am bummed that it took trading Junis, but I had depth at SP to trade and felt I got a good return for him. Ryan (Former Mets GM) to confirm |

Mets accept.
Happ is arguably the best long-term asset in this trade, but I just don't know how I feel about him. The strikeouts got pretty bad last year and even though he has a good overall fantasy profile, those hurt a lot. He does have upside but I see him struggling to reach it in this format because of that.
Iglesias I'm not a fan of, I dislike defensive first players, even at SS. Bregman has SS eligibility this year so he's locked in there and that meant Iglesias was probs in my UTIL slot. Also, Happ wasn't even in the starting lineup at the moment based on my current projections.
So filling a good SP2/3 role that is a weakness for me right now, and on a pre-arb contract instead of paying up in FA is something I like, since I'd rather spend in FA on bats, so weaking my UTIL/bench offense right now is fine since I'll pay for bats in FA and getting cheap help at SP is quite enticing, especially as a Royals fan that works at Kauffman and sees Junis all the time. He was also much improved in the 2nd half in the one area that was killing him and that was HRallowed. (24 1st half, 8 2nd half)
And lastly we have Stokes, who I really like as an upside 5 tool OF. Great power and speed, he does have questionable K-rate but he walks a ton so it's fine. Also I give up a 3rd. Meh. It was either that or eat some $ on Iglesias and I'd rather have the $ for FA

Approve. Love the in-depth confirmation - I don't think strikeouts hurt all that much in this league, but I would be worried about Happ losing playing time with the Cubs. Solid trade for an SP though.

Approve just because I don't wanna read the long paragraph by the Mets Boooo, in some of my other leagues it's required it have good sound reasoning and not just one or two sentences saying "I accept because I like ___." It's habit |
