Maybe not the most painful trade of last winter, when the New York Mets acquired Keon Broxton in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, they did give up three players to land him. There was never a real possibility Broxton would start regularly for the Mets. His poor performance actually led to an early-season DFA, putting an end to his abysmal tenure in New York.
After swapping uniforms a few times in 2019, Broxton returned to the Brewers on a minor league deal. This isn’t what’s so ugly about the deal for the Mets now.
