NEW YORK -- It only makes sense for a shopper to visit the nearest store, so general manager Brian Cashman's search for starting pitching has taken him across borough lines to the Mets, who are considering parting with some exciting young hurlers that could easily fit into the Yankees' rotation.
Cashman said that he has had recent conversations with his friend Omar Minaya, who is sharing the Mets' GM duties during Sandy Alderson's leave of absence. Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard have been frequently mentioned as possible targets, but the Mets could also be interested in selling high on Steven Matz or Zack Wheeler.
