The key to any good trade is the same as playing the stock market. You need to know when and who to buy and when and who to sell. Days before the 1982 MLB season began, the New York Mets made a very important deal with the Texas Rangers which sent Lee Mazzilli to the Lone Star State in exchange for two minor leaguers.
The pair heading to New York was Walt Terrell and Ron Darling. Although Terrell pitched well for the Amazins in parts of three seasons, Darling was the big addition in this trade.
