The Mets were fairly quiet over the trade deadline, as they only made two trades overall. Im here to tell you if the Mets aced or Failed these trades.
Trade #1: #75 RP Francisco Rodriguez to Brewers for 2 players to be named later.
Grades: Mets: B-*
Brewers: B
The reason i gave the Mets a B- was because they in fact DID get rid of the attitude and contract of Frankie Rodriguez, considering if he finished 20 more games h would have gotten a 17.5 Million dollar bonus, but i gave them the minus because i thought they could have gotten more then probably 2 non-high-end prospects for Frankie. I give the Brewers and B because This helps them in the NL Central race and to sure up there wobbly 'pen.
Trade #2: #15 OF Carlos Beltran to Giants for SP Zack Wheeler
Grades: Mets A+
Giants: C
The reason i gave the Mets an A+ was because they really did ace this trade. They got Zack Wheeler, the #33 prospect in the nation and the #10 Starting Pitcher Prospect, Even though they did give up one of there best sluggers in Carlos Beltran, Carlos is 33 and exiting his prime. So the reason i give the Giants an C is because Carlos will reall only be a 1 or 2 year rental, but for the Mets they get an top-40 prospect who is 21 and will help the Mets in the long-term future.
Post your comments down below and i will leave a poll up and you take your pick: Which trade was the BEST the Mets Made?
