The surprising story of the New York Mets season has been their alleged willingness to listen to teams interested in trading for Jacob deGrom or Noah Syndergaard. While many will agree trading either would be foolish, this may have some strategy.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets could dangle their two best starters in order to start a conversation about Zack Wheeler. Wheeler is a free agent after next season and a guy who has pitched well of late. Could he become the starting pitcher they move this season?
