Mets fans all over looked up from their lunches on Thursday to see the Mets making the blockbuster move we’ve all been waiting for. The Mets acquired Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco for Andres Gimenez, Amed Rosario, Josh Wolf and Isaiah Greene.
The first to weigh in from the Mets was recently re-signed starter Marcus Stroman, who got very active on the timeline:

Mets legend Mike Piazza tossed around a comparison to Mets offseason of years past:
Very excited for @Mets fans. This off season has the same energy as ‘98, ‘99. Putting a Great team together is very important, but you still have to prove it on the field. Work is just starting. #LGM

Trevor May, who signed a two-year deal before the holidays, is just as excited as Stroman:
LETS GO.

And last but not least, the man at the helm of it all, Steve Cohen, failed to break character in his tweet:
I know this trade seems to creating excitement but let’s get back to what matters – the black jerseys

In today’s era of technology and social media, it’s more apparent than ever that the players and personnel are just as excited about a huge trade as the fans are, and it’s good to have a team with so much enthusiasm and energy.
