Mets give: 1B - Joey Votto 2017 $7.9 Rockies give: SP - Anibal Sanchez 2017+ $3.8 RP - Andrew Miller 2015 $0.8 SP - Martin Perez (3rd) $1.0 1B - Ike Davis (6th) $1.0 C - Christian Bethancourt (Braves) (1st) $0.3 www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bethach01.shtmlCaps: Mets -$1.0 / $108.0 Rockies +$1.0 / $109.0 (after pending Ogando trade) I hope Votto will help in the offensive categories this year, and I have faith that his skill set will age gracefully towards the end of the contract. Sanchez looks to have been a bit unlucky this season and I wanted to keep him but I needed to move some cap. Miller is an elite RP option, but every darn reliever I get my hands on gets a closing gig so I think I can cope with his saves. Ike is sort of surplus with Votto coming in and I'm not sure how much his discount will be worth. Bethancourt and Perez could be the two I mourn most, but sometimes you have to roll the dice. Cheers Mets for the tough negotiations. Good fun.

Accept. It is tough to move Votto, but I think the quality and quantity of return is worth it. Perez is just 24 and still has 3 years of control remaining and hopefully they are healthy, as well as productive. Sanchez is a little overpriced, but should remain a solid pitcher for the remainder of his deal. Ike is still not yet 30 and think his discount is worth inclusion to leave my options open for a 1B/CI fill in. Miller is a top reliever and I can use his discount to lock him up for a few years. Bethancourt is really the key to the deal and I hope he can hit enough to be a useful catcher throughout his control years.
