Obtained Victor Gonzalez to complete Castro Trade With Mets

[section18]

The 17 yr old infielder has been added to our 60 man player pool. Completes the Castro deal with the Mets. Chandler Shepherd has been released to make room.  Part of the Mets International 2019-2020 signing class. Has a good first step and strong arm and they feel he will stick at SS. Has yet to officially start his professional career.

Although we picked this kid up, it still won't stop some people from complaining that we traded an international draft slots.

There’s a couple of posts about Gonzalez in the original thread about the Castro trade.

Dude, I'm not even really complaining about the one deal.

If I'm not able to muster real outrage over it no one else is.

 

Of course if at the end of the day we find out the O's traded a Zoellner level three slots for this guy that would probably change.
