The Trade of Pete Crow-Armstrong is one of the Worst in Team History

 


The Mets have made some very bad trades in their history.  For example:
  • The Tom Seaver Trade
  • Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi
  • Amos Otis for Joe Foy
The trade of Pete Crow-Armstrong was made July 30, 2021 at the deadline.  The Mets were leading the NL East at that time and were looking for an infield partner for Francisco Lindor. Crow-Armstrong was ranked the #5 Mets prospect at that time. Let's review what happened since then:
  • Javier Baez signed for the Detroit Tigers for the 2022 season and beyond making him a 2-month rental for the Mets
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong has emerged as a perennial all-star and is even considered as a future Hall of Famer

The Mets received several prospects at the deadline this year.  Time will tell how they will work out.
