Re: [Signed] R.A. Dickey with the Braves
At the time of the trade I’m pretty sure Da’Naurd or whatever the catchers name was the higher prospect. And the Mets said we want a young pitcher back and said Syndergaard (38th overall), Sanchez (34th overall), or McGuire (selected 11th overall). Toronto said, not Sanchez pick one of the remaining two. Mets picked Syndergaard obviously. It was a 50/50 shot at being a terrible trade for the Mets.
It was also after the trades to bring in Reyes, Buerhle, and Josh Johnson (the SP, I think it was Josh).So they were in a win now mode. Trades work out, trades don’t.
I know it’s a lot of what-ifs, but the next pitcher to be drafted after McGuire in that 2010 MLB draft was Sale. Imagine the Jays rotation of Sanchez, Syndergaard, Sale? They also got Sam Dyson in that draft (Texas Ranger RP with the beard). And a little 3B named Kris Bryant in the 18th round!!!!! He did not sign tho.
