This winter, we’ve heard the New York Mets have at least shown some interest in making a trade for one of the big stars on the block. Guys like Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Nolan Arenado have all come up.
Rather than dive right in and make some kind of trade like this to mortgage the future, I would prefer to see Brodie Van Wagenen take another approach. This involves waiting to make any big splash via trade and instead of finding the next superstar in free agency.
When a take makes a trade, they lose more than money.
