When it comes to the New York Mets and free agent signings, the list of good ones isn’t very long. The signing of Asdrubal Cabrera is an exception.
Cabrera was traded on Friday to the Philadelphia Phillies for prospect Franklyn Kilome. In a necessary deal to move a guy on an expiring contract, the Mets bid farewell to one of their most consistent players since 2016.
When Cabrera joined the Mets in 2016, he became their starting shortstop. He moved to third base the following year when Amed Rosario received his big league promotion.
