You know what's tough is actually there's two names in this trade that I'm going to struggle with.
First one, Nolan McLean.
Nolan McLean.
McLean.
Okay.
Nolan McLean.
All right, so Nolan McLean, great pitching prospect.
This year, 48 innings, 2.08 ERA, 10.7 K-9.
Nasty, nasty.
Very young, too, 24.
Along with him, Jet Williams, who a lot of people think is the Mets' number one prospect, 21-year-old shortstop.
He's going to be MLB ready next year, most likely.
Great defense, great speed.
He can hit a little undersized, but it hasn't stopped him yet.
next one, Carson Benje, B-E-N-G-E.
Benj, Benj, all right, I was close, Carson Benj, a guy who wasn't a huge prospect heading into 25, more of a good prospect, but he flew up the charts, so he's the big riser, I wanted two premier prospects, one big riser up the charts, and then David Peterson, another pitcher who
who all-star this year, kind of fell off in the second half, but he's the guy the Tigers, who play on contending in 2026, whether they make this fake trade or not, they can plug into the rotation.
He'll help them out.
So I know the reaction from Mets fans is going to be, this is an insane overpay.
Yes, absolutely it is.
