From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): One of the most underrated trade deadline acquisitions was a reliever who went from Tampa Bay to the Mets for just cash. That would be reliever Phil Maton. The righty, who has been lights-out for the red-hot Mets, sits down with Rob Bradford to talk about the story behind him getting traded, along with the differences between the approach to pitching in Tampa Bay and New York. There is also some good Francisco Lindor MVP talk.
