The New York Mets were active buyers during this year’s trade deadline, with the team being linked to numerous big names. Acquiring Javier Baez was the big splash they made, and one that I think will help them not only this year but in the long term.
Among all of the players that the Mets were linked to, there’s one player I wish they would’ve acquired, and one player I’m happy they didn’t trade for.
