Wash getting Oscar Mercado
Mets getting Yuli Gurriel, Daniel Hudson, Wil Crowe, and an AMAT 5th rounder next year
Reasoning- I can of course try for a small or big win this season, but feel just as happy to play for a real season, not a fake one according to the american president. I dont have a great trust in Crowe and am ok giving him up. I offered Gurriel and Hudson to everyone and Alex is the only one wanting to improve his team for a push this year with these two players, two good players.
Also, I like to buy players when they have lost their luster such as Mercado, who I believe in obviously.
I wish Alex good luck and hope he wins it all. Especially as the real Mets have such an anguished history since the Wilpons took over. Trivia-who was the first owner of the real team? Alex is great to work with for sure.

There's probably no way I would have made this deal during the offseason. Mercado was being ranked really highly coming off of a solid 24 year old season. I was hoping he would repeat, but he simply hasn't performed so far this year. Gurriel and Hudson unquestionably make my team better for this year, but only got this year. I still believe in Mercado, so getting Crowe and the pick in return help ease the pain of any future development he makes.
Good luck, Carter. I hope Mercado turns it around starting next year.
