Summary: The New York Mets made a blockbuster trade on Saturday, acquiring All-Star starting pitcher Chris Bassitt in a trade with the Oakland Athletics. Bassitt becomes the final piece of a Mets rotation that already included two aces with Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer, which now may be the best staff in all of MLB. Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down why this was a no-brainer of a trade for Mets, even with the steep price they paid in giving up two of their top pitching prospects in J.T. Ginn and Adam Oller.
