The New York Mets and Mariners are finalizing a deal that will send Edwin Diaz, Robinson Cano, and $20 million to New York for Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak, Jarred Kelenic, Justin Dunn, and Gerson Bautista per Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
This isn’t complete but as Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports, the deal is clearing the final hurdles which include physicals, approval from the commissioner’s office, and approval from Cano. Rosenthal is also reporting that the deal should be finalized “early next week.”
Prospect hugging is rampant in the offseason.
