The Yankees obtained three pretty good players in Beltran, McCann and Ellsbury (.283, .277 and .297 batting averages) while the Mets obtained another in a line of aging sluggers in Curtis Granderson (.261); do you remember George Foster and Mo Vaughn?  The emphasis on home runs still rankles me, as though the whole steroid mess never happened.  I would rather see hitters such as Wade Boggs and Rod Carew; they each hit .328 and could even bunt!
