New GM Brodie Van Wagenen wasted no time to make a big splash in his new position. He acquired Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz from the Mariners in return for Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak, and prospects Jarred Kelenic, Justin Dunn, and Gerson Bautista. $20 million dollars was also included in the deal and so far the reaction seems mixed to this deal.
- The Mets are nearing relevance with the trade and are one of the most compelling teams in the league as a result, writes Jonah Keri.
