Remember 1969: The trades the Mets have made: 1995

 

Mets Trades through the years:  Who won?

November 1994 through October 1995

Moving back to the lousy years of the early nineties this week.   This is probably the era that I remember the least, as their play was poor and my kids were young.  I just stopped paying that much attention for a few years. 

(1)  New York Mets traded Jeromy Burnitz and Joe Roa to the Cleveland Indians for Dave Mlicki, Paul Byrd, Jerry Dipoto, and Jesus Azuaje  (Nov 18, 1994)

(2)  New York Mets traded Juan Castillo and Todd Beckerman to the Houston Astros for PeteHarnisch  (Nov 28, 1994)

 (3)  New York Mets traded Quilvio Veras to the Florida Marlins for Carl Everett  (Nov 29, 1994)

 (4)  New York Mets traded Fernando Vina and Javier Gonzalez to the Milwaukee Brewers for Doug Henry  (Nov 30, 1994)

 (5)  New York Mets traded Mike Remlinger to the Cincinnati Reds for Cobi Cradle  (May 11, 1995)

 (6)  New York Mets traded David Segui to the Montreal Expos for Reid Cornelius  (Jun 08, 1995)

 (7)  New York Mets traded Jason Jacome and Allen McDill to the Kansas City Royals for DerekWallace, John Carter and Geno Morones  (Jul 21, 1995)

 (8)  New York Mets traded Bobby Bonilla and Jimmy Williams to the Baltimore Orioles for Alex Ochoa and Damon Buford   (Jul 28, 1995)

 (9)  New York Mets traded Bret Saberhagen and David Swanson to the Colorado Rockies for Juan Acevedo and Arnold Gooch  (Jul 31, 1995)

 (10)  New York Mets traded Brett Butler to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Scott Hunter and DwightManess  (Aug 18, 1995)

 Notes:    Wow, they didn’t have a lot to give up, but what they got back was sure a lot less.  Burnitz  and Segui went on to have productive careers elsewhere, 

Veras was a pretty good utility infielder with a lot of speed for a few years with the Marlins and Padres.

 Ochoa was a highly hyped player that never lived up to expectations.

Perhaps the worst trade of 1995 was trading Fernando Vina who had some very good years with Milwaukee and St. Louis over a nine-year career. 

Bobby Bonilla was actually still a pretty productive hitter at the time of the 1995 trade and had a couple good years with Baltimore after the trade.
