On Thursday the New York Mets were the talk of the town. In the first blockbuster deal of the Steve Cohen era, the Mets traded four players to the Cleveland Indians for superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco.
Lindor is one of biggest stars in the game, easily a top-ten player in Major League Baseball. Players like him don’t often hit the market, and when they do the Mets aren’t often involved.
Which had us wondering, where does this trade rank in the history of Mets blockbusters?
