The Padres accept.  I keep tinkering with what was a team that probably had a top 3 offense for this league, but simply put, G-man wasn't going to be denied Conforto.  I think he is a bright player and I had no intention of trading him.... but I liked the haul of prospects that I was getting of out this deal. Vallot is a decent spec but I don't see him as more than a backup at the next level.  Lopez could be something or nothing.  I love getting Diaz and Bader and think they both will be in the majors sooner than later, even though Ozuna just got dealt to the Cards.  Padlo and Perez also seem to be developing and I think they can contribute long term as well.  Heredia is a guy who can just get me at bats until I find a more permanent solution.

Congrats on getting your guy G-man, your persistance made it happen.  Good luck

Accept.

Obviously the injury is worrisome for Conforto, however on the other hand, if not for the injury he likely isn't available at any price. As a few of you know, I put this package of prospects together in efforts to deal for some pretty high end, 5-6th yr type, Fantasy stars... And after evaluating each of those players, not with standing the fact that he's a Met,I believed Conforto to be at the top of the list. A 24yr old who smacked 27HR with a 939OPA in >375AB. Vallot was simply the best way to balance the value, and Lopez is a kid that caught my attention this fall, when he was named one of the most improved players at the fall instructd, after signing for 1.2M last summer, he was brought state side for his professional debut at 17yr old and seemed to handle the ultra aggressive assignment very well and has an excellent chance to continue to develop. Thanks SDP, always a pleasure.
