| 1999 | Former Mets infielder Carlos Baerga signs a one-year free-agent contract with the Cardinals. The second baseman, who did not meet the fans' expectations in New York, will be released by the Cardinals during spring training and sign with the Reds, who will release him at the beginning of June. |
| 2005 | After failing to sign free-agent first baseman Carlos Delgado, the Mets quickly fill the void at first base by trading minor league prospect Ian Bladergroen and a player to be named (or cash) to Boston for Gold Glover Doug Mientkiewicz. The Red Sox, who acquired the 30-year-old infielder from the Twins at the non-waiver trade deadline to solidify their defense, plan to use heavy-hitting, light-fielding Kevin Millar at first. |
| 2021 | The Blue Jays trade pitchers Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diaz, and Josh Winckowski to the Mets for southpaw Steven Matz, a second-round pick who posted a disappointing 31-41 (.431) record during his six seasons with New York. The 29-year-old compiles a 14-7 mark for his new team before joining the Cardinals as a free agent in November. |
