I thought for sure Zack Wheeler was getting traded before 4pm on July 31. If Zack Greinke wasn’t with the Houston Astros right now, I believe the New York Mets would have pulled off a deal with them to send the soon-to-be free agent righty to down to the Lone Star State. Because any packages they or anyone else offered the Mets was apparently not good enough, the baseball team in Flushing decided to hold onto Wheeler for the remainder of the year.
Like Indiana Jones’ selection of the Holy Grail in The Last Crusade, they have chosen wisely.
