Mets trade:
SP Wade Miley 1.0M 5th
1B Lucas Duda 3.4M 6th
Athletics trade:
SP Chris Bassitt 0.5M 2nd
Cap impact:
Mets: (-3.9M)
Athletics: +3.9M
Reasoning:
This trade was agreed up yesterday, which may put me at 0-3 on the day... Miley and Duda are solid guys, but pretty much know what we have in them, they are just that, "guys"... Duda will make me regret this for a week in May when he hits 5HR, then really, really regret it for a week in July when he hits 8HR... But just other then that, I've gone down the road with him in H2H leagues and his streakiness can be brutal..
I am pretty high in Bassitt... He's shown flashes of brilliance, and most exciting is he's shown he can negate the typical split issues right handed pitchers face when going against lefties... Lefties had an wOBA of > .300 against him last year in a decent sampling of 50 innings. He's also been excellent at home, and the next step is doing it on the road, which I'm counting on him being able to do... Oakland has a pretty solid, recent history of developing young SP, throw in 5 years of control v the 3 I'm losing in these two guys and I felt it was a little gamble worth taking in hopes of getting a little lucky.
