An absolutely insane trade rumor surfaced from the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas on Monday night. More importantly, this one has some legs to it, confirmed and detailed by more than a handful of MLB insiders including Ken Rosenthal, Joel Sherman, Joe Frisaro, Tim Healey, Andy Martino and Mike Puma. The general framework: J.T. Realmuto to the Mets, Noah Syndergaard to the Yankees and...other stuff to the Marlins.
Rosenthal and Sherman both suggest that new Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen—formerly an agent who represented Syndergaard, among others—is the driving force behind the unorthodox configuration.
