The New York Mets and Cleveland Indians have engaged in discussions about Tribe right-handed ace Corey Kluber, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com:
A two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, Kluber went 20-7 with a 2.89 ERA and 222 strikeouts last season. The 32-year-old has punched out an average of 246 batters per year since 2014.
Feinsand provided his take on what a potential Kluber-Mets move may represent:
Mark FeinsandAfter Cano/Diaz trade, Mets are clearly still thinking big. Could be a sign they plan to trade Noah Syndergaard, then turn around and bring in Kluber.
