The Mets and Phillies have a history of making deals with each other. Here's a look at four blockbusters between the two teams including Friday night's Turk Wendell and Dennis Cook for Bruce Chen and Adam Walker swap.
December 3, 1974
To the Phillies:Tug McGraw, Don Hahn, and Dave Schneck
To the Mets:Del Uncer, John Stearns, and Mac Scarce
How it turned out:McGraw had two saves and struck out Willie Wilson for the last out of Game 6 to win the 1980 World Series. Stearns was an All-Star on some putrid Mets teams; Uncer was gone by 1976; and Scarce gave up a hit tothe only batter he faced with the Mets
Edge: Phillies
June 18, 1989
To the Phillies:Lenny Dykstra, Roger McDowell, and Tom Edens
To the Mets:Juan Samuel
How it turned out:Dykstra blossomed into an All-Star and hit .348 with 4 home runs and 8 RBI's in the 1993 World Series loss to the Blue Jays. Samuel hit .228 in 86 games
Edge: Phillies
November 27, 1996
To the phillies:Rico Brogna
To the Mets:Toby Borland, and Ricardo Jordan
How it turned out:Brogna hit 20 or more home runs three of four years the Phillies, while driving in 100 or more runs twice. Jordan was 1 & 2 with a 5.33 ERA and Borland was 0 & 1 with a 6.08 ERA
Edge: Phillies
July 27, 2001
To the Phillies:Turk Wendell, and Dennis Cook
To the Mets:Bruce Chen, and Adam Walker
How it turned out:Despite Turk's ominous debut yesterday, he and Cook were middle-relief workhorses for NL Champs. Chen has been given up on by the Braves and noe the Phillies, while Walker is unproven minor-league commodity
Edge: Phillies
