Summary: Javier Báez is no longer a New York Met, as he signed a six-year, $140 million deal with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. This means the Mets gave up top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong for a few months of Báez in a season that ended in a third place finish. While the Mets would love to go back in time and handle the trade deadline differently, things could have gone much worse. Host Ryan Finkelstein revisits the deadline and how things would have gone if they had traded for Max Scherzer instead of Báez. The Mets over-anxious approach at the deadline cost them, but the net result has them in a far better position now then they could have been if a few things went differently.
