When we think of who the New York Mets will acquire or won’t at the trade deadline, it’s important to always harken back to who they were rumored to have interest in during the offseason. Ryne Stanek was long thought of as a potential Mets free agent signing. When the time came to add at the 2024 trade deadline, they willingly brought him in from the Seattle Mariners with a July swap.
The same scenario could present itself with Mike Soroka. A name Mets fans remember best from his early days dominating with the Atlanta Braves, we familiarized ourselves with him again when his name was brought up over the weekend by Jonah Tong.
