I remember Milledge was set to be involved in a trade for Manny like 500 times, most notably at the 2005 trade deadline. The Sox were said to be so set on dealing Manny that the Mets were thought to have offered only Mike Cameron and Milledge and the Sox nearly went for it.
Getting Manny probably would have put the Mets into the 2005 playoffs. They came really close without him. But then again they probably wouldn't have gone on to trade for Delgado in the off-season, which could have altered the hella fun 2006 season.
