ye it's Bautista. Better deal for the Mets imo as Mariners are just offloading Cano's contract but won't do anything with it
Mets get 2 proven studs: arguably the best closer in baseball and arguably the best 2nd baseman in baseball
Mariners get cap relief and hoping that one of those prospects actually sticks in the MLB. Best case scenario is all stick in MLB and 1 is a perennial all-star like both the players the Mets received
Dunno about 2nd basemen, but he did provide 3.2 WAR in 80 games not to mention in a pitcher friendly park.
I admit I didn't know much about Diaz, but he has 109 saves. And he's only 24.
This is all contingent and dependent upon what we do next. If we don't do jack shit, and trade Thor for literally nothing less than Realmuto or Kris Byrant, I'll be upset.
I do believe Kelenic will be a star. Baustia/Dunn can possibly become great relievers/solid 5th SP.
Mariners are supposedly happy about the trade from looking at their forums. They wanted McNeil, but obtaining McNeil wouldn't have made sense since they are rebuilding.
