LA Mets receive: Bryan Reynolds .5(2024) Clayton Kershaw 27(2022)
Chicago Jays receive: Sandy Alcantara .5(2022) July Minors claim
Mets make this deal to acquire a big time bat at a position if need. My OF is weak and I have solid pitching depth and cap space, so swapping Alcantara for Reynolds made a ton of sense, while taking the chance on Kershaw. Thanks Drew and good luck

Confirmed. Ryan astutely observed that all my outfielders lost their additional position eligibilty and were CF only, so I had room to move at least one of them. I'm in definite need of pitching, so getting a guy like Alcantara is a huge help. I'd been contemplating finding a way to rid myself of Kershaw's salary, so having him as the secondary piece made sense. Now, I can reinvest that $27M in multiple pieces. Great back and forth with Ryan, and I hope he gets a healthy Kershaw!
If anyone has a LF they want to move for a CF, I still have extra to spare and no LF.
