Mets trade:
-Jacob deGrom ($4m salary retained in 2018)
-6.15 and 8.15 in this year's draft
-3rd and 5th rounders in next year's draft
Reds trade:
-Luis Valbuena
-Nick Senzel
-Ariel Jurado
-Jaime Barria
-Zac Gallen
-1st round pick in next year's draft
This trade lands me one of my favorite prospects in Senzel, I think he could develop into a future star at third. Out of the three pitching prospects I landed, Jurado is probably thought most highly of. He's having a bit of a down year, but he was good in prior seasons, so I'm holding out hope that he rebounds. While Barria and Gallen aren't thought of as highly, they are performing well in the minors and improving their stock. I don't think any of these three will ever be as good as deGrom is right now, but maybe I'll get lucky. The first rounder gives me the opportunity to add another highly regarded prospect next year.
I do have to take back Valbuena's contract to make it all work. He hasn't produced this year and is getting paid more than I'd like. Worst case scenario, he continues the low production and I buy him out after next season
