Zack Wheeler’s showcase will continue Tuesday, on a big stage against a potential suitor.
Though the possibility of the Mets and Yankees working out a deal that involves Wheeler is likely slim, the right-hander will have plenty of eyes watching as he takes the ball at Citi Field to open the Subway Series.
The Brewers, Cardinals, Twins, Rays and Red Sox are among the teams that could use another rotation arm, and Wheeler’s raw stuff, impending free agency and the Mets’ dismal showing in the standings make him a target.
If the Yankees want Wheeler, an industry source has suggested they may have to blow away all other offers received, given the Mets’ reluctance to deal with their crosstown rivals.
