In 2012, not many predicted that then New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey would win the National League Cy Young, but he did. Dickey became the first knuckleball pitcher in MLB history to take home the award.
With the Toronto Blue Jays needing pitching ahead of the 2013 season, the Blue Jays made a blockbuster trade to acquire the Cy Young winner from the Mets. One of the players the Blue Jays traded to get Dickey was Noah Syndergaard, a prospect at the time.
It's hard to believe that the trade was over a decade ago.
