Quiz: Last Trade With

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Was January '08 the bringing-back-Pagan trade? IIRC, that was 2-3 minor leaguers who turned into nuttin' heading Chicago-way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pagan it was for a minor league outfielder called Corey Coles. I can remember fans being very unhappy with that move but what a steal: Probably Omar's best trade?

Thanks all for playing LAST TRADE WITH!

Hard to think of young Angel Pagan as anything but a Met, having seen him at the dawn of the Cyclones. It is my theory that he was in the midst of a baserunning drill at PSL and wandered so far from first that he wound up in Chicago. The Cubs eventually returned him and the Mets were so grateful, they gave them a random minor leaguer as a reward. "It's not much," Omar said, "but we insist you take it. Now Angel, you gave us such a fright -- don't ever do that again!"

But it was too late. Angel had already gone hiding in the bathroom just off the Met dugout.
