The New York Mets are underperforming this season and looking to rebuild their roster.
The Mets reportedly are exploring possible landing spots for starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard. What’s even more interesting, though, is the fact that New York might send Syndergaard to the San Diego Padres and use what they acquire in that deal to land Toronto Blue Jays star Marcus Stroman, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
The Mets are 48-55 on the season, sitting fourth in the National League East standings, 12.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves. It doesn’t seem like any trade can help them out of the hole they dug themselves into, but they can try, right?
Losing Syndergaard to the Padres still would leave the Mets with Jacob DeGrom, who is enjoying a nice year, but a playoff berth seems like a longshot for the Mets.
