Mets Hot Stove: Can Lucas Duda play every day?
The Yankees are asking for a top, young starting pitcher in return for LH reliever Andrew Miller (Jan. 2, 2015).
As such, the Daily News reporter John Harper wants the Yankees to trade Miller and Brett Gardner to the Mets for Zack Wheeler, Rafael Montero and Alejandro De Aza (Jan. 4, 2015).
"For the Mets, Gardner would be a nice addition as a center fielder and leadoff hitter," he explains. "Miller, meanwhile, would pair with Jeurys Familia to give the Mets a lock-down bullpen that would enhance the dominance of their young starters and dramatically improve their chances of winning a championship over the next three seasons - while both Gardner and Miller are under contract."
