Stats:

Baez spent the second half of last season with the Mets following a trade from the Cubs. He joined close friend Francisco Lindor, playing second base, and hit well in Queens, finishing with an OPS of .886 in 47 games. 

Mets:

Baez heading to Detroit also means the Yankees have one less option to make a big splash in the free agent shortstop market.

They have been among the quietest teams in the sport during this flurry of activity before the impending lockout, with their only major league signing a one-year, $2 million deal to bring back left-hander Joely Rodriguez.

FanGraphs:
