Maybe you were getting antsy after a couple quiet weeks. Maybe you started to have doubts about how serious Steve Cohen was. Those doubts should’ve been silenced on Thursday, as the Mets traded for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco by parting with Amed Rosario, Andres Gimenez, Josh Wolf, and Isiah Green.
Lindor hardly needs any introduction, so let’s skip over him for a moment and talk about the other pieces involved in this trade. Amed Rosario is, at this point, a failed former top prospect. Sure, the underlying physical tools that made him peak in the top-10 on some lists are still there, but he’s arguably gotten worse since coming to the majors.
