Even though they have now officially traded for Marcus Stroman, the Mets are still likely to trade Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler before the trade deadline, according to Jeff Passan. The Mets also remain unlikely to sign Wheeler to a contract extension, Passan reports.
With the Mets having officially agreed to a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays earlier today to acquire Stroman and cash considerations in exchange for Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods-Richardson, the team’s plans as the trade deadline approches on Wednesday was cloudy.
