Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 2919662, member: 2920"] Just confirmation of the obvious here: [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-rumors-free-agent-patrick-corbin-drawing-interest-from-yankees-phillies-nationals-others/']Yanks showing interest in Corbin[/URL]. Also of note in Morosi's tweet: the thought that the Mets could trade Thor or deGrom then sign Corbin to replace whoever they trade. That's actually a good thought, if true. Both of those SPs could net a haul on the MLB and MiLB levels, depending on which way they want to go. Maybe a little of both. As for how that possibility relates to the Yanks: perhaps they get involved in trade talks for deGrom. Highly unlikely that the Mets would make a blockbuster trade with the Yanks though. Always that fight for the back page and with fairly recent Jay Bruce to the Indians history/bickering, the chances are probably less than .01%. However, the Yanks farm is loaded and assuming Gleyber is untouchable, I think containing some of the likes of Sheffield/Adams/Abreu/Florial/Frazier/Andujar would be awfully difficult for the Mets to quickly dismiss because of cross-town rivalries. If the Yanks had to include Andujar, then they could conceivably pivot back to Machado and that's another win for the Mets as Machado looks most destined to land in Philadelphia. The NL East is on lock down for another decade of Atlanta Braves dominance. And if the Phils ink both Machado and Harper, they'll be right up there with Atlanta as their primary division competitor. A trade of deGrom could really help the Mets chances by early next decade. At least give them a fighting chance at finishing higher than 4th behind Atlanta-Philadelphia-Washington in 2-3 years.
