The New York Mets were about to receive Carlos Gomez at the 2015 trade deadline. Due to complications in the trade, it did not go through and fate came into play.
Sandy Alderson ended up trading for Yoenis Cespedes, steering the franchise to a 2015 World Series berth. His arrival in New York was monumental in getting the Amazins to the playoffs and giving the fans a boost of confidence.
He took Queens by storm.
When he arrived in 2015, he played a total of 57 games in which he hit 17 homers and knocked in 44 RBIs.
