The following are a list of clues for you to guess three different Ex-Mets:

Player #1 (easy):

• This former Mets’ first round pick made his debut with the team in 1984.
• After failing to produce in 1984-1985, he was traded to the Twins. He would later be traded to the Tigers, then sign as a free agent with the A’s.
• He is now the GM of the A’s, famous for being profiled in the book Moneyball.

Player #2 (medium)

• This ex-Met made a name for himself as an OF/1B in Pittsburgh, making four All-Star appearences for them.
• Prior to the 1992 season he signed a monster (for the time) contract with the Mets worth $25 million over five years.
• He was trade mid-way through the season in 1995 for Alex Ochoa, despite having made an All-Star appearance that year.  He also made an All-Star appearence for the Mets in 1993 for six total in his career.
• In 1998 he was traded by Marlins along with Gary Sheffield for Mike Piazza. In November of 1998 he was traded to the Mets.
• The Mets are still paying this player to the day, because when they released him in 200 they agreed to pay the $25 million left on his contract over time through the year 2035.

Player #3 (hard)

• In 2002, this 36 year old Japanese RP pitched for the Mets. 
• He had an 0-3 record in 25 appearances with a 5.61 ERA.
• This RP has played for Bobby Valentine in both the United States and in Japan.
• He is famous for his trademark goggles and for throwing a “shakeball.”

And the answers are Billy Beane, Bobby Bonilla and Satoru Komiyama. Nice job cityfishing.
