The story amongst Blue Jays fans is still talked about to this day. R.A. Dickey was moved for who is now known as “Thor”, Noah Syndergaard. Travis d’Arnaud was the blue chip prospect going to the New York Mets at the time, but he has not lived up to his prospect hype due to a plethora of injuries.
The R.A. Dickey trade leaves a sour taste in many of the fanbase’s mouths, especially with how Syndergaard has developed. The other pieces in the deal included John Buck and Wuilmer Beccera to the Mets.
