Jeff Wilpon and Mickey Callaway believe the Mets are built to win next year.
Whether two of their frontline starters are around to help them remains to be seen. And a run at Manny Machado still seems unlikely. Wilpon, the Mets COO, said Friday he intends to have talks with Jacob deGrom about a potential contract extension soon, though that hasn’t happened yet.
But Wilpon didn’t dismiss the idea of trading Noah Syndergaard, whose name continues to surface in potential deals.
DeGrom’s situation has been complicated by the fact Brodie Van Wagenen went from being his agent to his general manager.
