If there is one trade deadline blunder the New York Mets would likely want a mulligan on, it was trading Pete Crow-Armstrong to the Chicago Cubs for only two months of Javier Baez. PCA has developed into one of baseball's premier players. He has a 137 wRC+ while showing off some of the best defense in the league with +14 defensive runs saved and +15 outs above average already this season. Baez was quite good down the stretch for the Mets, posting a .876 OPS, .374 wOBA, and 138 wRC+. But Baez would leave in free agency that winter.
