This time last year, the Mets and the Cubs made a deal at the trading deadline that sent outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong to Chicago in exchange for a half-season of Javier Báez, as well as Trevor Williams. Báez put up a 143 wRC+ as a Met, but it was not enough to save the Mets from free falling out of playoff contention. Báez is now struggling as a Tiger and Pete Crow-Armstrong is considered one of the top prospects in the Cubs organization. Meanwhile, Trevor Williams has been an important contributor to the Mets this season, stepping up to fill in while injuries plagued the Mets rotation and also serving as a long man out of the bullpen.
