Good return on Bautista.  As good as he is I still don't think he's worth the resign value for all those years.  Someone forgot to tell him that nobody is doing HGH anymore.

Not sure if I am on the TC or not, but this looks like a good deal. NYM has tons of $ and could afford Baustia at >$20M for 5 years. Meanwhile, the return is very fair: good mix of established players and propsects.

I approve this trade as both teams make a solid move forward.
