One of the biggest trades of the last decade made by the New York Mets sent reigning Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey to the Toronto Blue Jays. In return, the Mets managed to pick up one of the key members of their core for the last half-decade, Noah Syndergaard.
Syndergaard hasn’t reached what many believe to be his full potential. Still an incredibly gifted athlete, he is an important part of this team’s success.
At the time of the trade, the Mets didn’t look like they were going anywhere.
