New York Mets: Matz won’t acknowledge trade rumors unless he hears them himself

Error 0:

A couple of days ago, rumors surfaced about a potential interest from the New York Yankees in acquiring New York Mets‘ starter Steven Matz. A deal is already unlikely because of how little time before the season the two squads would have to come to an agreement, and because the Mets won’t just give their homegrown lefty away.

Now, after looking at Matz’ remarks to the press when questioned about the Yankees’ supposed interest, any trade seems even more unlikely.

At one point, he couldn’t escape the rumors: after the report came out, his phone was about to explode with texts from friends.
