Maybe not the smartest move (because we were actually fishing for Nolan Ryan) but the Mets settle for acquiring The Franchise as Tom Seaver departs Houston for Queens.
Gotta give up a lot to get a alot, so we bid farewell to Rollie Fingers, the reigning Fireman of the Year in the National League, but have Bruce Sutter waiting in the wings. We also have a wealth of OFs but didn't make it any easier to part ways with Willie Crawford, a force in our title runs.
