Mets trade:
Yasmani Grandal 2019 $10,000,000
Braves trade:
AJ Pollock 2020-21P $23,000,000
Grandal and Pollock had similar production last season, all things combined. Grandal has the friendlier cap hit, but has shorter term. I have a lot of cap space, so I don't mind the additional money from Pollock's contract. If Pollock stays healthy, I think he's the better player, but that is admittedly a "big if" based on recent years. It's a bit of a risk-reward move on my part, but getting a player with Pollock's potential for 2-maybe-3 years is worth it to me.
