David West
In what was one of the best trade deadline deals ever made by the Mets, the team managed to acquire the reigning American League Cy Young winner right at the 1989 deadline. The man, Frank Viola, was a native New Yorker ready to bring his talents to the National League for the first time. To acquire Viola, it cost quite a bit. Rick Aguilera, Tim Drummond, Kevin Tapani, and David West were all sent directly to the Twins.
Pitcher David West went on to have a ten-year career going 31-38 with a 4.66 ERA (89 ERA+), getting a ring with the Twins in 1991.
