All signs point to the New York Mets becoming sellers at the trade deadline. One of their most tradeable pieces is righty starter, Zack Wheeler. The crosstown Yankees are in need of starting pitching and Wheeler could fit what they need.
Although there is an unwritten rule that the Yankees and Mets don’t make significant trades with one another, Andy Martino of SNY is reporting that the Mets “would have no issues sending him across town, according to major league sources.”
Perhaps this is posturing on the part of the Mets.
