trade:C Kyle Skipworth 91 32 years old, $17.0 million this year (3 year PO at same salary)
$10 million cash
Future Cash As Outlined below
trade:SP Amado Fernandez 67/81
NTC is split between the two teams, each paying $7.5 million each
Future Cash:
The New York Mets shall pay the Arizona Diamondbacks a cash payment of $10 million in each of the 2024, 2025 and 2026 Spring Training sims.
Terms are:
1. Kyle Skipworth must accept his Player Option at the end of this season
2. Skipworth must be on the Arizona Diamondbacks roster (MLB or farm) at the time of each of the Spring Training sims.
Mets accept, this is clearly a deal to save money. I will be saving around $21 million with this deal. Skipworth is still a top catcher and we wish him the best in Arizona, maybe the desert weather will be good to him.
