On August 1, 2016, the Mets agreed to trade Dilson Herrera and Max Wotell to the Reds in exchange for Jay Bruce. Herrera was the clear prize of the trade, having been just one year removed from ranking as the Mets’ fourth-best prospect, eviscerating PCL pitching to the tune of a 138 wRC+, and holding his own in 103 plate appearances at the major league level. Though the 2016 season was more of a mediocre one for Herrera at Triple-A, he was still only 22 at the time, and he figured to be a key part of the Reds’ future.
