“The mets gave up a ton’ well, that makes me feel better about it. We’ll miss Freddy, though…

1. Pretty funny that Mets fans don’t think so

   Edit: this is not my analysis of the trade. I like the trade. I saw early comments from some Mets fans that liked it

2. Compared to the Burnes return, this is legit!

3. Using bbref WAR statistics, the Brewers had 7 players last year with 500+ plate appearances with those players respectively putting up the following:

   > 5.6, 3.9, 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.2, 0.3

   The top prospect the Brewers got in return in this trade is a 22 year old who will hopefully replace the majority of the plate appearances from the guy with the 0.3 WAR.

   This seems like an under-commented-on fact. Trade from position of organizational strength to upgrade arguably the weakest position in the franchise + team control over the upgraded player.

4. Think it’s a win win. Hopefully Jett can bump Ortiz sooner than later and I think we do have another solid young(ish) and controllable starter. Good luck to perralta

5. No hold on guys Freddy is Freddy. But a prospect could be anything.

6. I’m just sad . . . 😟

7. this just seems like a good trade for both sides. both gave up a lot to get a lot. both deal from strengths to cover weaknesses.

   as with all trades, especially centered on prospects, only a couple years’ time will tell though.
