| 1994 | The Astros trade Pete Harnisch to the Mets for two players to be named later, Andy Beckerman (12/6/1994) and Juan Castillo (4/12/1995). The 29-year-old All-Star right-hander, who compiled a 45–33 record and a 3.41 ERA with Houston, doesn't fare as well in New York, winning ten of 31 decisions in two-plus seasons, before being traded to the Brewers on August 31, 1997, for a minor league outfielder. |

The 34-year-old 'Billy the Kid,' who led the NL in games finished with 70, will compile 101 saves in his three-plus seasons with New York. |
