Question of the Day: Carlos Beltran's Mets Legacy

How will the center fielder (and sometimes right fielder) be remembered by Mets fans? Sound off in the comments.

By now, baseball fans have heard the news that the Mets will trade Carlos Beltran to the Giants for pitching prospect Zack Wheeler (rated as the Giants' #1 pitching prospect). The move was widely expected to happen in recent weeks, as the Mets were fading out of contention and were not expected to re-sign Beltran before season's end.

Patch wants to know what you think about the trade. Should the Mets have traded the center fielder? Did they get a good enough prospect in return? Would you have preferred if Beltran stayed on the team through the rest of the season?

There are other questions that can be addressed, but one more that should be is Beltran's Mets legacy. It's tough to know the answer today, but ultimately, how will the center fielder be seen in Mets lore? Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the $119-million-dollar man?
