Mets trade history with the Indians highlighted by two epic disasters

The New York Mets and Cleveland Indians haven’t made too many trades during the 2010s. Following a three-team deal in December 2008, the only other transaction you will find on the list until 2017 involved the Mets purchasing Wilson Valdez from the Tribe in 2009.

In 2017, the drought ended when the Mets traded Jay Bruce to the Indians for minor leaguer Ryder Ryan. More recently, the teams struck up a deal which involved backup catcher Kevin Plawecki and current Mets pitcher Walker Lockett.

None of those deals were nearly as impactful to these two franchises as another pair from the past.
