Mets History Diving: When was the last time there was no ex-Yankee on the roster?

Curtis Granderson’s recent retirement had me thinking: when was the last time there was no former New York Yankees player on the New York Mets roster?

To find the answer, I started off by researching the files in my own mind.

In 2020, we’ll see Dellin Betances pitch for the Mets. We can quickly cross this upcoming year off the list unless the unthinkable happens and Betances never takes the field for the Amazins. The only other team Betances has ever suited up for was the one up in The Bronx.
