1989

The Mets and Reds swap relievers. Randy Myers goes to Cincinnati and fellow closer John Franco will finish games in New York.

2004

The Mets and Royals exchange right-handers with starter Brian Bannister going to Kansas City and reliever Ambiorix Burgos heading for the Big Apple. The son of former major league southpaw Floyd Bannister will place third in the AL Rookie of the Year voting, earning nine victories for the last-place club, and the 23 year-old Dominican will appear in only 17 games for New York, being derailed by injuries and off-the-field incidents.

To compensate, the Bronx Bombers ink OF Carlos Beltran for three years at $45 million, and 2B Kelly Johnson for one year.
