Mets Trade Retrospective: 2018 Jeurys Familia deal with the Athletics

In 2020, Jeurys Familia wouldn’t need to pay for a ride to the airport. After what he did with the New York Mets in 2019, there is a line of fans who would happily drive him there and purchase a one-way ticket to any other city.

Familia was so bad in 2019 that even when closer Edwin Diaz put together a nearly equally as bad campaign, the team never turned to their all-time single-season saves leader for help.

It feels like Familia has been a part of the Mets organization for his entire career.
