The New York Yankees were on the market for a starting pitcher last season, near the trade deadline. And, as it turns out, a rare deal with the New York Mets, the crosstown team, nearly materialized. It wasn’t meant to be, however.
Zack Wheeler, a pitcher the Mets considered trading last July to get something of value in return and not lose him for nothing in free agency – which is what happened anyway – was close to pitching with the Yankees, according to a Friday report from SNY Andy Martino.
