Mets Daily Trivia 1-20

[Guest cooby]

In January 2008, the Mets acquired Johan Santana from the Twins. What four players did the Mets give up in exchange?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Delois Guerra, Phil Humber, Carlos Gomez, and Kevin Mulvey!

There's one spelling error here, but I think cooby would give the point to BG.

[Centerfield]

I can't believe we gave up Mulvey.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, remember how upset Valadius was about the deal because of Mulvey?

[Valadius]

I liked his numbers in the minors. What?

[seawolf17]

I guess I'm the only one who isn't thrilled about the deal. I have a horrible feeling about this. The only consolation is that we kept Fernando Martinez. I could care less about Humber, but I'm furious that we traded Mulvey.

That trade IIRC was the impetus for Val to head to Washington and demand change, he was livid.
