How these 4 former Mets players traded at the deadline have done with their new teams

3) Amed Rosario

Poor Amed Rosario. He went from the surprisingly out-of-it Tampa Bay Rays to the seriously contending Los Angeles Dodgers. It was the second straight trade deadline for the former Mets infielder to end up in Hollywood. A sensationally productive run with the Rays this year featuring a .307/.331/.417 slash line and a whole lot of games at a variety of positions, one would think the Dodgers could find a role for him. He went 3 for 11 with 2 RBI before the team DFA’d him last week to make room for Mookie Betts.

So much for a heroic return.

Rosario was officially claimed on Sunday off of waivers by the Cincinnati Reds. He was never a consideration for the Mets who already have a jam-packed roster of position players. His defensive abilities wouldn’t make him a consideration for the bench under nearly any circumstance.

The Mets play the Reds in September which could give us a chance to see him as long as they don’t get rid of him as quickly as the Dodgers did. Rosario will now have a chance to do something not often seen. With a season batting average over .300 thanks to his time with the Rays, could he have one of the best batting averages in baseball as a member of three different organizations?
