Mets trade

SP: Wandy Rodriguez-11:$7M
RP: Mark Melancon-11:$400k (0/5PP)

to the Nats

for

C: Geovany Soto 3M (3/5)

I am doing this trade because I am in need of a Pitcher that is actually a top 2 starter in arotation. I have plenty of #4 and 5 starters. I also like getting Melancon for some Holds. I hate getting rid of soto but I have a lot of Cubs players in my starting lineup plus a lot of good Offensive players so I can sacrafice trading Soto.

looking to upgrade catcher in case Ramos has some ups and downs this year. Also with Matusz, Pineiro, and Greinke all back soon I felt my rotation could handle it.
