Report: Mets could use pieces from Syndergaard trade to get Marcus Stroman

Marcus Stroman

The New York Mets are getting creative in their deadline negotiations.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Mets have explored a scenario in which they trade pitcher Noah Syndergaard to the San Diego Padres, and use the return from that deal to get Marcus Stroman from the Toronto Blue Jays.

The thinking for the Mets seems to be to use Syndergaard to replenish the farm system, keeping some of the return and then shipping it for a lesser starter in Stroman. The Padres are said to be one of two teams the Mets think could make a fair offer for Syndergaard, so it’s no surprise that they are a target.

New York wants to thread the needle between rebuilding and contending. It’s a tough way to work, and it’s risky, too.
