In a trade not even worth grading, the New York Mets have sent minor league catcher Ben Rortvedt to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Chayce McDermott. Already familiar with them, he brings minor league depth to Los Angeles as they deal with multiple injuries to their catcher core. The bar is low for Chayce McDermott, the Mets aren’t unwise to give him a tryThe truth of trading Rortvedt is the Mets were never getting much of anything back. This trade isn’t much different than the 2023 trade between the Mets and Dodgers which brought us Phil Bickford. The last time the Mets and Dodgers made a deadline move together, New York was apparently hoping Bickford could prove all of his doubters wrong.
