Twins/Mets Trade

[Lindner]

:MIN3: gives:
P - Matthew Harvey
OF - Anthony Gose
P - Noah Syndergaard
P - Arodys Vizcaino

:NYM: gives:
OF - Yeonis Cespedes $12M (2016)
SP - Taijuan Walker
OF - Oswaldo Arcia
OF - Kirk Nieuwenhuis

[Lindner]

:MIN2: accepts.

Lots of big names going both ways.  We are excited to bring in a big power bat in Cespedes and a huge arm in Walker.  Arcia is a very good, underrated hitter.  Kirk N. was solid at the Major League level last year.

Harvey is the only person in this deal that I really wish I didn't have to give up.  Gose is athletic, but I'm not sure how many points he will score at the Major League level.  Vizcaino is a big name, but he will almost certainly end up as a reliever.  Syndergaard is another big name, but he's a ways off and if his secondary stuff doesn't start to develop, he too will be destined for the pen.

Thanks for the negotiations, Speedster.  :toth:

:NYM: Accept the trade

I accept this trade and being my first trade for the Mets. Im very excited to get Harvey and Gose and all the rest of the nice prospects in the deal. I hate losing Walker who is going to be a nice pitcher but I think the guys I get will do just fine. I also shipped Cespedes out to the Twins and I hate losing that bat in the lineup but with 12m that goes  with him and all the holes on this team I need to free up cap and get prospects and free cap up for FA that is very deep in talent. Thanks Linder for the nice trade talks
