Mets Morning News: Syndergaard on the block?

Meet the Mets

When asked about the likelihood of trading Noah Syndergaard, Jeff Wilpon wouldn’t rule it out.

The Mets were apparently open to trading Syndergaard over the summer and expect more interest in him this winter.

The interest in Syndergaard is strong, and the San Diego Padres appear to be one team that’s willing to sweeten their offer for his services.

Ken Davidoff says Michael Wilbon’s rant about how wins matter above everything else proves that the stat needs to just go away, especially when it comes to Cy Young voting.

Jeff Wilpon says the Mets intend to be more aggressive this offseason, though he wouldn’t specify how.

Wilpon also made it clear that a Jacob deGrom extension is not his top priority.
