NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets want J.T. Realmuto. They want him so much they have even considered the unthinkable.
According to multiple reports, representatives of the Mets, Miami Marlins and Yankees were up late Monday night at the winter meetings in Las Vegas discussing a potential blockbuster trade that would send Realmuto to the Mets, Noah Syndergaard to the pitching-needy Yankees and, presumably, many high-end prospects to the ever-rebuilding Marlins.
The idea of the Mets making a deal of this magnitude with the Yankees likely gives many Amazins’ fans pause, but it does fit in with new general manager Brodie Van Waganen’s recent missive that he’ll do whatever is necessary to make the Mets contenders in 2019.
