It seems we cannot go a season without some New York Mets trade rumors involving their crosstown rival New York Yankees. In the latest installment of Mets trade rumors, it’s Steven Matz whose name has appeared in the behind the scenes whispers.
According to Mike Puma and Ken Davidoff of the New York Post, the Yankees have checked with the Mets about the availability of Matz. Viewed by many as the team’s fifth starter currently in competition with Michael Wacha, it would make sense why Brian Cashman gave Brodie Van Wagenen a ring.
