Will Toffey was ranked as the 17th best prospect for Oakland when the trade was made. It was understandable that New York Mets fans would be up in arms when they found out they traded one of the games top relief pitchers for the 17th best prospect and a 26-year-old reliever in Bobby Wahl.
Even though most people did not agree with the trade, we can all agree that Toffey deserves a chance to show what he’s got. So far, Toffey is off to a hot start.
Prior to the trade, Toffey was playing for the Stockton Ports in Advanced A ball.
