Mets/Indians

[Mike (Former Mets GM)]

Indians Trade:
Cory Kluber SP, $30M (17,18) ($15M coverage for 18)
Joe Kelly RP, $4.8M (17), $5.3M (18)

Mets Trade:
Kevin Newman SS, $0.3M
Anderson Espinoza P, $0.3M
Foster Griffin P, $0.3M
Dan Lietz P, $0.3M

Mets accept. Adding Kluber is going to give me that star power I'm missing in the rotation. He is a big get for the Mets. Newman, Espinoza, and Griffin are tough to give up but the return is worth it. Good working with you Thomas.

Indians confirm.

I am trading a superstar pitcher with high value, but I get back 2 top 100 prospects as well as two pitchers who I really like. It hurts to lose Kluber and Kelly (who has been revitalized since moving to the 'pen), but the value was too much to pass up on. This also allows me to take on space in cap dumps to get some more value going down the stretch. Great working with you too, Mike. Good luck making your run!

Allow. Trade actually makes sense for both teams, even though it's difficult watching teams willing be pathetic, the Indians are getting a nice package of prospects and a guy that is on the same team as some really good prospects in Dan Lietz. Great move in the right direction for the Mets, are now making a case for their name to mentioned as a pre-season favorite, in the better league, to be in the 2018 post season.

Nice move by both teams, like the Indians rebuild start here. Kluber gives Mike another solid starter.
