Former Mets GM Joe McDonald, who traded Tom Seaver, dead at 97

Comments

1. Adam: he had some big moves as an exec. Seaver trade still looks like a rough one in hindsight though
2. Jonasm: traded away Seaver, but what really bothers me is how long it's taken for people to acknowledge the role he had in Mets history
3. Ariaadeyemixo: you can't have a 97-year career and not get some respect, but i guess it's better late than never
4. June: traded Seaver? his greatest legacy or his most haunted past?
5. Miasantosxo: surprised he outlived some of the guys he traded away, thinking Tom Seaver's family might've gotten some closure before Joe McDonald passed
6. Cleob: think that's a remarkable legacy, even beyond the trades like Seaver
7. Leor: must've been some deals he made to get that legacy with 3 different teams
