cap change-
Reds: -7.9
Mets: +9.1


Reasoning:
Need to clear some cap from my books, and none of these guys project to be that valuable next year. Rodney could always end up closing for someone still as he just doesn't seem to go way, but I'll risk it. I've got 1, maybe 2 years left to compete with this core, gonna ride it in to the sunset. Thanks for the deal Mark!

i have plenty of cap space that i'm not going to use in 2020 so happy to use some of it to pick up a few lottery tickets.
also it's possible that Rodney, Allen and/or Morrow could end up in someone's bullpen next year in which case i might be able to flip them for more prospects at the 2020 trade deadline
thanks for the easy chat Kyler!
