And this helps the Mets how?  Doesn't address any pitching woes (rotation or bullpen) and gives away our most productive bat.  This helps the Pirates as they've been looking for a run producing right fielder.  Alderson was asleep at the wheel on this one.  Another 
BONEHEAD MOVE made my Mets executives.  
 
 
The player to be named later better be pitching help...and a good one!!!
I know Byrd and Buck weren't long term Mets...but 
COME ON MAN...get something in return for them.
No wonder we suck!!!
Great move by the Pirates, as they make a serious push towards the playoffs.  I'm rooting for them.
