While we're mainly focused on the division race, the Giants are currently the team we're magic numbering for the last wild card spot, so a few wins in San Francisco this weekend will help the Mets' overall postseason chances.

Probably because it's a day game after a night game.

He had a very short tenure, but he did swing the Francisco Lindor trade, so that will forever be on the plus side of his ledger.

Tigers in 2015 was Yoenis Cespedes.

How about Diamondbacks? I seem to think they may have been the other 2015 deal.

Tigers in 2015?

So was the last trade with the Twins the one for Johan Santana??? Wow.

Just guessing here, but... Minnesota?
