Mets cap -0.6
Astros cap +0.6

Mets accept. i wasn't desperate to trade Conforto because i could have kept him and then retained him with the discount next year, but it was worth doing for what many consider to be a top 50 spec. Garcia has some question marks but who doesn't. Bukauskas has good draft pedigree and O'Brien will hopefully turn into one of the Rays unheralded gems, so hoping at least 2 out of the 3 will come good in a year or 2's time
thanks for revisiting this Adam!

Astros confirm.

If viewed as cap space used instead of cap available:
Mets: +$0.6
Astros: -$0.6

Thanks for bearing with me Mark after going back and forth, and back and forth, and back...

It makes me nervous to part with these prospects for what could possibly be only one year keeping Conforto. But Conforto seems like a relatively safe player, has a very useful outfield eligibility, and helps to balance my team. Blake Taylor affords some salary flexibility as well.

Thanks again Mark.
