We’re now well past the 2018 non-waiver trade deadline. Still in our view, should the New York Mets keep or trade Jacob deGrom?
To answer this question, one simply needs to look at the Johan Santana trade the Mets made with the Minnesota Twins in the 2007-2008 offseason.
With two Cy Young Awards to his name, Santana left the Twins after another phenomenal season. He joined the Mets where he would give them three stellar seasons and the franchise’s lone no-hitter. Injuries ended his career prematurely, which unfortunately cost Santana a shot at the Hall of Fame.
