Pirates receive: SP - Jon Lester, 2015, $6.0 RF - Alex Rios, 2015, $6.3 Mets receive: SP - Josh Johnson 2015 $6.3 SP - Hyun-Jin Ryu, 2015, 2.0 2B - Alex Guerrero, 2015, 3.5 LF - Alex Presley, 5th, $1.0 RHP - Casey Meisner, 1st, $0.3 (Mets) www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=meisne000casCap: Pirates -$0.8 Mets +$0.8 I was looking to create a little cap space while maintaining a high level of MLB talent and this deal does both. Presley and Meisner can be unprotected to help create cap room while providing depth and some upside in Meisner. I'm hoping Guerrero ends up traded or somehow finds his way into playing time as I am pretty thin at MI and he offers good power for the position. Ryu is a small step down from Lester, but if he can put it together with a full year of health then he will be that much closer to Lester's production level. Rios looks primed for a bounce back year, as he typically has after a down year, but I have plenty of OF depth and needed the possibility of Guerrero to shore up the MI. Josh Johnson is in there to help balance salary and maybe contribute if he can get back on the mound.

Pirates accept
Lester is a slight upgrade over Ryu and I can resign him at a bigger discount next season; Deal also opens up 800K for me to spend next round of free agency. I think the deal will swing on Guerrero and if he pushes for more playing time
