“Worst trade ever”, “Lfg time to eat” - New York Mets fans confused with the recent acquisition of Daniel Vogelbach

With the trade deadline looming, the New York Mets decided to make their first move this past Friday. The Mets shipped off rookie reliever Colin Holderman to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for Daniel Vogelbach.New York Mets@MetsWe’ve acquired IF Daniel Vogelbach from Pittsburgh in exchange for RHP Colin Holderman.4454493We’ve acquired IF Daniel Vogelbach from Pittsburgh in exchange for RHP Colin Holderman. https://t.co/dSodgZKveaAlthough Vogelbach primarily plays first base, he will likely be DH in New York, as Pete Alonso has the first base spot. Vogelbach has had a good season so far. Through 75 games played for the Pirates, Vogelbach is batting .228 with a .769 OPS with 12 homers. He will be a solid addition to the Mets lineup if he can keep these numbers up.Mets fans had mixed reactions to the trade.Ryan@deGrom_stan@Mets Lfg time to eat51@Mets Lfg time to eat https://t.co/ENF90J3nyXAidan Antonucci@aidan_antonucci@Mets Love this traded need a DH that has a good eye and can hit the ball just need to trade for a lefty3@Mets Love this traded need a DH that has a good eye and can hit the ball just need to trade for a leftyRogelio Sanz (Pissed As All Fuck!!)@Think1_1981@Mets It's a low key move. Sure, Holderman was doing a great job, and I'm not big on the idea of him for Vogelbach, but two things here: 1) Vogelbach hits from the left side with power and kills righties. And I think he FO is ramping up for something bigger. This is clearly depth.2@Mets It's a low key move.

And I think he FO is ramping up for something bigger. This is clearly depth.So far in his career, Vogelbach has been known as a power hitter. In 2019, his only full season, he blasted 30 home runs and had an All-Star appearance with the Seattle Mariners. However, he is a one-dimensional player, as he does not hit for average well and performs poorly on the field.The New York Mets traded away Colin Holderman, who has had a great rookie season. Holderman was 4-0 with a 2.04 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP in 15 appearances. Although he did not pitch much for New York, he was a trusted arm for the Mets.Edfraudo Trashcobar@MakeNYMGreat22@Mets Holderman when we’re trying to get a better bullpen is a huge L3046@Mets Holderman when we’re trying to get a better bullpen is a huge LWhat's confusing about this deal is it has been rumored that the New York Mets are in need of more bullpen arms. Why would they trade away one of their best arms in Colin Holderman?Donkey KING‼️@theDILFhunter21@Mets This is the worst trade ever. LOL METS I hate this team@Mets This is the worst trade ever.

Trading away Holderman for a mediocre bat. This is not what I meant when I told him to stop sleepingIf the Mets are in need of bullpen arms, then they should have kept Holderman or at least traded him for another reliever. Trading him for Vogelbach does not make too much sense, but Vogelbach will give New York a needed boost on offense.The New York Mets have been in a very tough position as of late. They are now just half a game above the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The New York Mets' NL East lead has slipped awayAtlanta Braves v New York MetsThe Mets raced to an early lead in the National League East in the months of April and May. By the end of May, it seemed that New York was going to run away with the division, holding a 10.5 game lead over Atlanta at one point. However, that lead has shrunk to just half a game.The Atlanta Braves have been red-hot since the return of superstar Ronald Acuna Jr., who was sidelined with an injury to start the season. They have looked like a completely different team since June. Atlanta could easily take over the NL East in the next few games.YouTube Thunderr @MeLlamoThunderr@Mets DONT FRET METS FAN! I am sure Eppler is probably talking to another team right now setting up a huge bullpen trade.2@Mets DONT FRET METS FAN!
