The Blue Jays on Sunday night traded pitcher Marcus Stroman to the New York Mets in exchange for pitching prospects Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson, the team announced.
ESPN's Keith Law had Kay and Woods Richardson ranked as the No. 6 and No. 7 prospects in the Mets' system before the season.
The plan for the Mets is to not trade Stroman, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The team is increasingly unlikely to sign pitcher Zack Wheeler to an extension and there is a strong likelihood the Mets deal at least one of Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard, sources said.
