Rahimi & Grote Show · The dangers of being an MLB trade deadline seller: The PCA story · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Now, that said, when you look at it at the time, when I dissect it and look back and see where did things go wrong, part of that was my bias coming from Boston.

We did not like PCA in the draft.

We didn't like Matt Allen in the draft either, and that was actually the player the Cubs wanted.

So in hindsight, that would have obviously been the much better deal.

Yeah, and so it's tough, but I'll say this.

If you looked at the farm system back then,

you had, I'd say PCA was seen as like the fifth or sixth best Mets prospect.

Yeah, and I can tell you from talking to people in the industry, he wasn't someone that teams really asked about.

And even the Cubs were asking reluctantly.

So I don't think he had a lot of industry value.

He'd been drafted 19th, which isn't usually where the top talent is.

It's usually in the top 15 picks.

So it doesn't surprise me that the industry didn't value him that early in his pro career.

Yeah.

You know, I love the defense, love the base running, like the makeup, too, as far as, you know, wanting to be really good.

Just didn't didn't trust that the bat would come along the way it has.

But, you know, give him a lot of credit for that.

Give Cubs player development a lot of credit for that.

But when you look at the farm system of the Mets at the time, you had like Alvarez was number one prospect out there, too.

Mauricio was number three.
