The Mets kicked off the trade deadline frenzy yesterday by acquiring Marcus Stroman from the Blue Jays in exchange for two pitching prospects. Can’t say that I saw that one coming. The Yankees long seemed like a logical destination for the 28-year-old, but he will head to Queens instead. Expect more action to unfold as the July 31 trade deadline draws ever closer.
Since it can sometimes be hard to keep up with the news, Pinstripe Alley is going to run a series of posts containing all the Yankees rumors over the next three days.
