Imagine if the Mets’ infield in the late ‘90s had featured Fernando Vina at second base instead of letting him slip away. Vina, who went on to become an All-Star and Gold Glove winner, was traded for reliever Doug Henry—a move that barely made headlines but could’ve changed the team’s whole dynamic. With Vina’s contact hitting and stellar defense, the Mets might have built one of baseball’s best infields even earlier. Looking back, it’s wild how one under-the-radar trade can shape a franchise’s future. What other “almost” Mets do you wish had stayed? #Sports #Baseball #Mets
