Former New York Mets general manager Zack Scott discusses a trade that involved outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, saying he “missed” the key element of the deal. The reporting centers on Scott’s retrospective comments, which characterize the transaction as an outcome that has looked worse over time as the players and results associated with the trade have unfolded.
Both sources frame Scott’s remarks as an acknowledgment that his evaluation or expectations did not match what ultimately developed. They do not provide additional, specific player-by-player details or a comprehensive accounting of the trade’s components in the provided excerpts. Instead, the emphasis is on Scott’s admission that the “real miss” is tied to what he thought would be the trade’s impact and why that assessment failed.
Taken together, the accounts present the same core idea: Scott is reflecting publicly on the trade and asserts that the central mistake was not merely a superficial error, but a deeper misjudgment about the deal’s significance and future payoff.
