Jarred Kelenic will make his Citi Discipline debut this weekend. And with him nevertheless hitting underneath the Mendoza Line in his limited job, it’s doable the blockbuster trade that despatched the previous Mets 1st-round select to the Mariners prior to the 2019 season was not as lopsided in Seattle’s favor as it has normally appeared.
That debate will not be settled right away. Kelenic is just 22, and the Mets are only now getting their ideal version of Edwin Diaz. The other crucial element of that offer, Robinson Cano, was just lately produced by the Mets, but is continue to owed about $37 million by the club.
Much less mentioned is a deal that could appear even even worse than the Kelenic trade in that the Mets have just about absolutely nothing remaining to demonstrate for it. The trade took place last July, when the Mets despatched their 2020 initial-round pick, Pete Crow-Armstrong, to the Cubs for Javier Baez and Trevor Williams.
Crow-Armstrong, who missed most of previous time after undergoing shoulder surgical treatment, is enjoying a speedy commence for Single-A Myrtle Beach in the Carolina League. In his to start with 24 games, he owned a .378/.470/.561 slash line with 4 homers, 18 RBIs and eight stolen bases. Of course, it’s early, and of course, it is only A-ball. But the 20-year-outdated Crow-Armstrong’s advancement will be truly worth looking at.
