Blue Jays/Mets Trade

[z - El Guapo - retired]

The New York Mets trade prospects for RP help

Bailey Ober SP/MIN

Tyler Callihan MI/CIN

To Toronto for

Aaron Bummer RP/CHW (2020 $15M)

plus Toronto Franchise Tag

We do this to shore up a pen depleted by TJ injuries to recent acquisition Tommy Kahnle and to Colin Poche. We plan to spread the $15M franchise tag over 4 years starting next season: 21:$3M, 22:$3M, 23:$4M, 24:$5M -- Or Bummer's 2021 salary. Beau said that was permissible.

Blue Jays to agree on the thread.

Thanks, Beau, for the discussion.

[Blue Jays GM (Beau)]

Blue Jays confirm. Happy to add to the prospect stable. Fan of Callihan. And the chance at an effective starter that throws 85 is fun. Good talks with Guapo.

Clarifier: $15M is this year's salary. The Franchise tag will get his real life contract, which is pretty sweet.

[Brewers GM (Brad)]

Approved. Update rosters and Fantrax Pages
