Quiz: Last Trade With

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 09 2016 09:52 PM

Just starting here, I have the data and can make lots of Q's but have time to get started with one question: As discussed in the Tejada thread the Mets last traded with the Cardinals in April of 04. Only one MLB club has gone longer between trades with the Mets* than STL. Which club is it and who were the principals in their last trade? *- defining trades for this purpose as a player who was active on, or would be active on, the Mets going one way or the other, in exchange for another player -- including Minor Leaguers but not including waiver deals, deals for cash, etc. No looking up. One guess per player at a time, will have more quiz questions with this data later so please don;t look up.

Yankees. The Armando Benitez trade.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 01:03 AM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

no

Benjamin Grimm Mar 10 2016 01:11 AM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Texas Rangers: Mazzilli for Darling and Terrell, spring 1982.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 02:38 AM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

No

Edgy MD Mar 10 2016 02:40 AM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Rangers gave us Mike Nickeas for Victor Diaz, part of what I think is the Mets' longest active trade tree.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 03:55 AM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

This is the first self-sustaining quiz in CPF history I think. Every time we get a wrong guess at Question 1, another question gets added to the sub-quiz list. Feel free to attack as many as you can. Question 1: Least recent Mets trade partner Question 2: Most recent Mets-MFYs trade Question 3: Most recent Mets- Rangers trade

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 04:29 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Geez, it's just a guessing game, and it gets easier as we go! Considering the Cards, MFYs, and Rangers are off the board, you've got a 1 in 25 change of winning!

seawolf17 Mar 10 2016 04:34 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

The Dykstra/McDowell/Samuel Phillies trade.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 04:54 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Right team, wrong trade! So question 1 now becomes, who were the principals in the most recent Mets-Phils trade? 2. name the last Mets-Yanks trade 3. Name the last Mets-Rangers trade

d'Kong76 Mar 10 2016 06:50 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

name the last Mets-Yanks trade-I think they shipped Mike Stanton back to his pin-striped ways at some point but I couldn't begin to guess for what.

Correct. Stanton for Heredia. Still looking for last Mets-Phils trade and last Mets-Rangers trade

Edgy MD Mar 10 2016 07:12 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

We've definitely dealt with them since the 2001 selloff of Wendell, Cookie, and Pratt, but I'm a-struggling with recalling when.

We've definitely dealt with them since the 2001 selloff of Wendell, Cookie, and Pratt, but I'm a-struggling with recalling when. We have not made a trade with Philly for a Met, or have received a Met by trade, from Philly since July 27, 2001: Chen for Cook & Wendell. More questions coming...

Cash Money is not a trade for this exercise.

Number 21 would be Toronto Blue Jays. Dickey, Thole and that other catcher whose name I forget for d'Arnaud, Syndergaard, Buck, and Beccera.

Edgy MD Mar 10 2016 09:40 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

You think of Mike Nickeas, he only known Met whose father played in the NASL. Last trade with Detroit: Luis Cessa and Michael Fulmer for Yoenis Cespedes. That's our July 31, 2015 dealio.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2016 09:43 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Edgy MD Mar 10 2016 09:46 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

Last trade with Atlanta, with the Young deal off the board, is Smelly Johnson and Juan U-RBI for John Gant and Rob Whalin'. That, I guess, is the 8/24 deal.

The 12/11/08 pair involved the Indians and the Mariners, with Joe Smith going to Cleveland and Aaron Heilman and Endy Chavez (plus Mike Carp) Seattle-bound; our bounty included Jeremy Reed, J.J. Putz and Sean Green, oh boy. A quietly useless trade.

G-Fafif Mar 11 2016 01:38 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

The boys of June 2013 (taken as a set, because they're only a week apart and were part of the same general malaise-busting, Collin-dumping shakeup): 6/18/13: Collin McHugh to COL for Eric Young, Jr. (remember when that was a steal for us)? 6/25/13: Collin Cowgill to LAA for whoever the fudge we got for Collin Cowgill.

One more! Last trade with the Cubs!

G-Fafif Mar 11 2016 08:47 PM Re: Quiz: Last Trade With

While I as of this moment have no answer to the Mets-Cubs trade of apparently early 2008, I have to say I am shocked by how long ago so many of these dates suddenly are. That Bannister trade, for example...ten minutes ago in my head. Sort of like noticing Skip Schumaker retired this week, which seems unlikely in that he just came up those same ten minutes ago -- and played eleven seasons. Since Carlos Gomez's name came up in one of the answers, I will share that I was on a podcast the other night and the name Carlos Gomez also came up. A caller to the show said he had no idea why the Mets ever let him go. "For Johan Santana," I said. Santana was a pretty big get, I vaguely recall, but that's suddenly more than ten minutes ago, too.

The Mets got Angel Pagan. I doubt I could tell you who they gave up if you gave me 100 guesses.

Was January '08 the bringing-back-Pagan trade? IIRC, that was 2-3 minor leaguers who turned into nuttin' heading Chicago-way.

Pagan it was for a minor league outfielder called Corey Coles. I can remember fans being very unhappy with that move but what a steal: Probably Omar's best trade?

Hard to think of young Angel Pagan as anything but a Met, having seen him at the dawn of the Cyclones. It is my theory that he was in the midst of a baserunning drill at PSL and wandered so far from first that he wound up in Chicago. The Cubs eventually returned him and the Mets were so grateful, they gave them a random minor leaguer as a reward. "It's not much," Omar said, "but we insist you take it. Now Angel, you gave us such a fright -- don't ever do that again!" But it was too late. Angel had already gone hiding in the bathroom just off the Met dugout.
