CLE/NYM

[Deleted]

Indians Trade:
Trevor Bauer RHP
Francisco Lindor SS
2014 Cleveland 1st round pick
2014 Cleveland 2nd round pick

Mets Trade:
David Wright 3B (18,140,000) (2020)
2013 3rd round pick (Cardinals)
2014 Mets 2nd round pick.

I did this trade to solidify 3rd base because of Mark Reynold's disappointing season and David Wright's consistency as well as his ability to help me in all 6 offensive categories.

I am sad that I traded Trevor Bauer, and I am even sadder that I traded away Lindor. . I looked at the James Shields trade as a baseline and I think that this is a solid trade because Lindor is comparible to Wil Myers from that trade (even though Myers was more MLB-ready and had higher ceiling) and Bauer being Odorizzi. The draft pick swaps were Tyler's idea and I don't see much of a difference between my 1st round and Met's 2nd round in 2014 as I should be pretty competitive (more-so than Mets) and I think that the 3rd round pick for 2013 will lessen the blow of losing that 2nd rounder in 2014.


LM EDIT : (2013 3RD ROUND STL)

I accept I really like that I'm getting Bauer to go along with syndergard as great prospects and lindor is a top 10 prospect in baseball I like the picks because I can use them in trades or just have two picks next rear I swapped mine with there's although it might be higher but the first helps soften the switch and the cardinals pick wasn't hard to give up since I had 2 3rd rounders.

All picks need to be labeled by team, round, and year, I don't care where it came from, just make it the original owners pick

[Brandon (Twins) (LM)]

I've went back and forth on this one, so this is what i've decided upon...

The two 2nd round picks are essentially a wash. So the trade becomes:

David Wright + 2013 3rd
FOR
Trevor Bauer + Francisco Lindor + CLE 2014 1st

David Wright:
-top 5 3B and a top 15-20 player with production across the board

However, Bauer and Lindor are premium prospects. Thus...

Trevor Bauer:
I see his ceiling as that of a Lincecum/Oswalt type. However, with his recent struggles, both in the minors and majors, he seems like risky prospect at this point. Maybe he flames out like Eric Hurley, or goes to the pen?
Francisco Lindor:
I see his ceiling as that of Jose Reyes. However, the minimal pop that he could develop is still yet to be seen. He's got some speed and very good hit tool, but his best asset is his defense. This however, essentially guarantees him a spot as a starting shortstop for a while and will give his bat some more time to develop. Does he become Jose Reyes? Probably not, but he could be Alexei Ramirez or even a little better. His floor would be more towards Alcides Escobar.


Overall, Lindor and Bauer seem to both be risky plays in fantasy terms, and the 1st rd pick in 2014 should presumably be late with the recent trades by Cleveland, but the Mets land a Top 5 prospect and a Top 50 prospect, and add a 1st rd pick for an aging 3B on a lackluster team. Maybe he'll regret this, but Bauer could look real nice with Wheeler and Harvey.

Uufff... Trevor Bauer. Like so many prospects, he is currently in a bit of a transition period where we find out who the real Trevor Bauer is. He definitely has all the tools and potential to be a success in the major leagues, but whether he pans out or not is another story.

But as confounding as Bauer has been, Lindor has been just the opposite. He's still just 20 years old and hasn't missed a beat making the jump from A ball to AA. He's no power guy, but the bat is definitely there, and at a premium position like SS no less.

Yes, CLE gave a lot in this deal, but you have to give value to get value and David Wright is a known valuable commodity.

Approve.

[Troy (Cubs) (LM)]

Approve.


Love Lindor. Good return for NYM.
