New York Mets longest active trade chain began in the 1987 draft

In 1987, the New York Mets selected infielder Tim Bogar in the 8th round of the MLB Draft. They have since made a string of 10 trades starting with Bogar that led to them acquiring minor league reliever, Ryder Ryan. This is the longest active Mets trade chain.

Tim Bogar, now the Washington Nationals’ first base coach, came up to the big leagues in 1993 and was a part-time player until the end of the 1996 season. He didn’t do much with the bat, but he was a utility player that played just about anywhere.
