No word on the Jays return, although JP Morosi says Syndergaard is NOT a part of the deal.

That’s crazy, what are the Mets doing?Comment

Jays get pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods-Richardson, the #4 and #6 pitching prospects in their system.Comment

Surprised that they couldn't get a bigger headliner...maybe they try and flip him yet before the deadline if they can't deal Thor?Originally posted by revo View PostComment

It would be a great play, if they can. Neither of the guys they gave are the sort that will really be missed all that much.Originally posted by fuhrdog View PostComment

Stroman is a Long Island guy who grew up a Mets fan.
it's irrelevant - except to the Mets.
I expect Thor to go to the Padres for CF Margot and a stud prospect.
that would mean the Mets improved their already reasonable rotation AND their awful defense.
if the prospect is as good as they just gave up, it might be - dare I say - smart.
it's a shame for the Yankees that their GM appears to be on vacation. the Mets rotation without Stroman already was better than the Yankees rotation.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

yeah, it would have been nice to get the kinda haul that TB got for Archer but it was unrealistic. Richardson seems to have a pretty high ceiling, but there's always that tinstaapp thing, esp with 18-yr-olds.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Apparently Stroman threw a shit fit in the clubhouse when he found out he was traded to the Mets, as he was hoping to be traded to a contender. Ouch. Welcome to New York!Comment

Stroman said that is fake news, says he was actually angry with 'the process' of how the Blue Jays handled the info, not the destination. a Long Island guy who was a Mets fan growing up is furious to get traded to the Mets? maybe. maybe not.Originally posted by revo View Postfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

He is also best pals with Matz, I have read. I'm sure part of him would have preferred a contender, but the idea that he was frustrated with the process more than the destination makes sense.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

How is it 'fake news" when his own father said it?Originally posted by Judge Jude View Post
“He was hoping it was the Yankees a little bit," Earl Stroman said. “He was kind of psyched, maybe hoping to go there. I'm not going to tell you that he wasn't. If he was to leave Toronto at all."
Then both the Toronto beat writer and Mike Puma from the NY Post confirmed it:
"A source told The Post’s Mike Puma that Stroman reacted with disappointment that he had not been traded to a contender. Stroman thought he would go to the Yankees, Red Sox or Astros. That comports with reporting from the Toronto Sun’s Rob Longley, who said the pitcher’s reaction to the trade was “not pretty.” "
What is fake news is likely his reasoning after he realized it probably wasn't good form to savage a team you're going to spend the next year and a half with.Comment

maybe so, but Mets are now on runs of 11-1 and 17-5. might be time to ask Stroman's old man if his kid still is upset about being present for an electrified CitiField sweep tonight in his favorite team's ballpark.
