Marcus Stroman gets traded to New York Mets in a complete stunner

Not surprisingly, Marcus Stroman was traded to New York on Sunday evening.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t to the New York baseball team that you are thinking of right now.

The New York Mets stunned the baseball world by trading for the former Blue Devil despite the team’s record and playoff status.

Five games below .500 (50-55), eleven and a half games out of first place in the the National League East Division, and six games out of the coveted second Wild Card spot, the Mets seem to have decided to be buyers at the trading deadline.
