He played Sandy Alderson like a fiddle.

It was supposed to be Brandon Nimmo and two pitching prospects for Jay Bruce. A reasonable trade. Mets already had Conforto so Nimmo was expendable especially with Bruce having another year under contract.

Instead they found some bullshit in the medicals for one of the pitchers the Mets were giving up and told Sandy at the last possible second that he can keep Nimmo and the "injured" pitcher if he throws in Herrera, and Sandy caved because he'd have gotten reamed for doing nothing.

Trading Herrera was such a mistake. Makes me sick just thinking about it.
