Ladies and gentlemen, the hot stove is beginning to heat up. We’ve got trades involving Jerry DiPoto’s team coming fast and furious now — shocking, I know — with potentially more on the way. The Mets are getting Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz. Jean Segura might be heading to the Phillies. James Paxton is already a Yankee. It’s a good reminder to all, I should think, that when a GM comes out and publicly denies his club is considering a teardown after it’s reported that his club is considering a teardown, maybe be skeptical of what the guy holding the cards is saying.
