Nice preview, Marty! JV was brought back for no other reason than to get us in the playoffs. Now, his sole job is to get us another trophy. If we don't get there, it won't matter what Clifford and/or Gilbert have done after a decade....this trade would've been a bomb for the 'Stros even before November.
When you put it into perspective of what our formidable weapons are in '23, trading two (even highly-rated) minor leaguers isn't too high a price to roll the championship dice. And, we got the Mets to pony up the dough for the lion's share of JV's salary. Play ball!
