The Mets’ focus has turned strongly to trading Noah Syndergaard by Wednesday’s 4 p.m. deadline — and the likelihood of Edwin Diaz being moved has greatly increased as well.
One executive who has communicated with the Mets said, “They are definitely trading Syndergaard.” Another source said no deal was imminent Friday night.
The expectation is the Mets will grind toward the deadline trying to extract the most possible for Syndergaard, hoping the clock ticking toward the deadline motivates even greater bidding.
