After completing a trade with the New York Mets for shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, the latest Phillies trade rumors have them connected to one of the Mets young starting pitchers.
Zack Wheeler has been mentioned in trade rumors in recent weeks as the Mets began to sell off uncontrolled veteran pieces. Jeurys Familia and Cabrera were the first to go from the Mets roster, but now teams are asking for the right-handed starter who was taken sixth-overall in 2009.
Jon Heyman of Fancred says the Phillies, Braves, Yankees, and Brewers have been connected to Wheeler as the Mets struggle to decide whether or not to move him.
