Mets / White Sox

[wilchiro]

Mets trade
SP Ubaldo Jimenez $2.8M (14) Rockies

White Sox trade
SS Alexei Ramirez $1.1M (11) White Sox
OF Trayce Thompson $300,000 (PP) White Sox
SP Jarred Cosart (MiLB)
SP Arodys Vizcaino (MiLB)

I needed a true ace and after missing out on Verlander, I went after Ubaldo. I now feel like I may just have one of the depthiest rotations in this league. Losing Alexei and three credible prospects is tough; this is a tough deal to pass up.

Jose Lopez seems to have caught lightning in a bottle in Colorado and he should be a solid fill-in unless another option presents itself.

Nice working with Mets (Kennedy).

Alexei Ramirez-11:$1.1M (PP 3/5) I believe.

I accept as long as his contract matches the spreadsheet. Ubaldo had a great year but he was a bit lucky and I like the haul here. Everyone knows about Cosart and Arodys by now but I think Trayce Thompson is one of the highest upside players in the minors and Alexei solidifies my MI.
