Padres trade:
SS Trevor Story $6.1 4th
Cap impact:
Mets: +$0.4
Padres: (-$0.4)
Reasoning:
I set my sights on Story soon as the off season started, and despite my best effort I couldn't get it done by going the prospect route... After being able to add some MLB depth with the last few deals, I went back to Bill with the idea of a package with MLB guys, knowing his intention is to continue to compete in 2019 and thought this made sense for both of us, and eventually after a few tweaks, Bill agreed and we reached his agreement tonight.
Obviously, this hurts from a depth standpoint, and I truly believe that Tim Anderson is a little BABIP bump away from becoming an elite fantasy option. As he was already a 20/20 guy, who will be in a much improved lineup in 2019 and beyond...Renfroe hit 11 HR in the final month and could be the next Kris Davis, but with 4 years of control remaining... Bottomline, I'm going to miss all of these guys on a team that wants to compete in 2019...
However, all that said... I'm a huge Story fan, and obviously he's a stud that is not only coming off a monster 2018 season, but he has a chance to continue to get better and I'll have him for the next 3 years. Depth is great, and depth is important to competing... But at this point, I'm hoping that I can roll the depth up into a true superstar, put him in the middle of my lineup, hope everyone stays healthy, and make a run!!!
Thanks for another great deal Bill, and hopefully this works out for both of us in the long haul. Good working with you as always.
