The last time the Mets traded two of their top prospects, it didn’t end so well.
Here goes Round 2.
On Sunday night, the Mets sent pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson to the Blue Jays for righty hurler Marcus Stroman, the teams announced.
The deal came as somewhat of a surprise given the Mets’ scant playoff hopes, and many signs had pointed to the pitching-hungry Yankees making a move for the Long Island native. The Mets’ similarly pulled a fast one when they traded top prospects Jarred Kelenic and Justin Dunn as part of a package for Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz last winter.
