Wynne was a puzzle WAR-wise. Junior Ortiz had a solid career as a catcher. SO that was a pretty significant trade, even if they did not keep Junior for long.
And we did get Tom Terrific back, even if all too briefly.
I always felt that Danny Heep got the short end of the stick in 1983. He was the one Met regular who was actually performing well. Unfortunately for him, his position was right field, where Strawberry took his place when called up.
If you look up Heep's minor league stats with Houston, they were really quite good.

Heep had his best years with the Mets - really 4 decent years that accumulated 1 WAR.
It is who they traded away that made that a bad trade Mike Scott went on to almost kill the Mets hopes in 1986. Good thing they pulled out that game 6!
