The Mets get Baez, who will join his buddy Francisco Lindor, and Trevor Williams. Earlier in the week Baez expressed a desire to play with Lindor, and now he will get the chance to play in his place while Lindor nurses an injury. When he comes back, Baez will likely move over to second, making them the most fun middle-infield on the planet.
