 With Wednesday's trade deadline approaching activity around MLB is heated up in a big way. There have been a lot of recent rumors about Marcus Strowman and some comments he made in late June indicated he would welcome a possible move to the Yankees. Well, the Long Island native has been traded to New York, but not the Yanks and a deal both teams announced a little after 9 o'clock. The Blue Jays have sent Strowman and cash considerations to the Mets in exchange for two pitching prospects. Left-hander Anthony Kay, who's also from Long Island like Strowman and right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson, though neither of them are on Baseball America's midseason list of top 100 prospects that just came out. Kay and Woods Richardson were ranked by Baseball America as the fourth and sixth best prospects in the Mets organization. 2019 could wind up being the best season of Strowman's six-year Major League career, although he did have a nice one in 2017 when he finished eighth in the AL Cy Young Boating and won a gold glove as well. His ground ball heavy ways could play well at Spacious City Field, although the Mets have been the worst team in the majors this year at converting ground balls into outs.
