To New York Mets:
SP Kyle Drabek ($0.5 M) (Pre-arb)
RP Steve Delabar ($0.5 M) (Pre-arb)
SP Ricky Romero ($9.37 M 2015 +)
To Blue Jays:
1B Ike Davis (ARB)
I really like Ike Davis despite his struggles this season, since he provides me with a young and cheap power bat, capable of hitting 30-35 HR's. It was tough moving Drabek since I still love his arm, though both him and Davis have loads of potential and have underachieved thus far in their MLB career's, which is why we based the deal around those two. I hate moving Delabar, since he's a cheap bullpen arm under club control and one of the best non-closing relievers in baseball. His K rates are just sick, and he likely could be a closer candidate if Janssen is traded or gets hurt. I moved Delabar because the Mets agreed to take on Romero. I still believe in Romero (I think he can be a solid bounceback candidate like how Ubaldo and Kazmir were to Cleveland this season) though given my payroll constraints, I wasn't in the best position to take that chance as the Mets are. Overall, this deal does involve players with question marks going both ways, though I think it's a good shakeup for both teams moving forwards.
