Mr. Ballone, what is a reasonable trade for Crochet? Is Baty, Gilbert, and, Vasil sufficient?

From a column at CBS Sports:

For this next bold prediction, we'll say the Mets hook up for a blockbuster trade with the White Sox, one that sends Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr. to Flushing. The Mets need rotation help with Sean Manaea, Jose Quintana, and Luis Severino all becoming free agents, and they don't have a center fielder (Tyrone Taylor's a nice player, but come on). Crochet and Robert to the Mets for a package that includes Brett Baty, Luisangel Acuña, and at least two others. It has been foretold.

Good article. I think slotting Vientos as DH does him a disservice at such a young age. While i dont think he should play 3rd - could he play outfield ? If not - then leave him where he is.
