A forgotten bad trade in New York Mets history is the 1998 deal between them and the Kansas City Royals involving Joe Randa.
Remember Joe Randa’s time with the New York Mets? You probably don’t because it didn’t even last a full week.
On December 4, 1998, the Mets acquired him in a trade with the Detroit Tigers.
