DET Trades: 7th RD AMAT 2020 Pick Juan Then MiLB
NYM Trade: Franklin Barreto
Reasoning: Barreto was once a top prospect. But he is jammed in his team. I'm betting that a team that already traded Mateo away will be willing to deal Barreto soon for a piece they need. Hopefully to a team he will get a shot at some playing time.

Mets accept.
I thought Barreto was finally getting a chance when Oakland traded away Mateo. Then there was a lot of buzz about how he was performing in camp and in intrasquad games. I normally don't put any stock into this kind of news, but it seemed exciting given the Mateo trade. It all led to *checks notes* 4 plate appearances through Oakland's first 21 games? The A's clearly don't believe in him and his career slash line of .185/.216./.371 isn't exactly inspiring. If he hadn't surpassed rookie limits and was still on his initial 20xx contact, I'd probably stick with him given his pedigree. However, the years actually count for Barreto now and in the last two years he's either not getting a chance or hurting your ratio categories when he does.
Juan Then is interesting to me and I can always find someone I want to draft, so why not grab two players to replace Barreto?
