When we think of baseball and the month of May, the word “trade” isn’t usually associated with it. May is the time when teams are usually still testing out what they already have. For the New York Mets, this hasn’t always been the case.
The Mets have made a surprisingly large number of trades in the month of May. Some were far more minor than others. In any given year, we can see a backup catcher swapped for a lefty reliever.
There are three Mets trades of note that took place in what has traditionally been the second full month of MLB action.
