Every move from the Mets’ trade deadline teardown

The Mets added Sammy Stafura, a 21-year-old shortstop who hit .276 with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases this season.

  • 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.
