Every move from the Mets’ trade deadline teardown

The Mets traded right-hander Luke Weaver to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday for 21-year-old infield prospect Sammy Stafura, who will face New York during the upcoming weekend series.
Following a 47-66 record before the trade deadline, the Mets front office, led by David Stearns, dismantled the roster by trading eight major league players to acquire 12 prospects.
Stafura, a 21-year-old infielder from the Dominican Republic, hit.276 with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases between Low-A and High-A this season, representing the organization's focus on younger talent.
Following the deadline, the Mets promoted 100 mph left-handed reliever Jefry Yan, who is expected to make his MLB debut during the series against the Cleveland Guardians beginning Tuesday.
President of baseball operations David Stearns said the overhaul was "a prudent decision," as the Mets aim to retool their farm system and acquire major-league talent in the off-season to contend in 2027.
