This new report echoes what Heyman stated last week. He said New York has made any and every prospect available in a deal for the man they call “Thor.”
Per Heyman on last week’s edition of the “Big Time Baseball” Podcast:
Heyman went on to say he believes the Mets would want Gleyber Torres in return for Syndergaard and he does not think the Yankees would do that. Torres has reportedly been made “unavailable” in trades.
However, it would appear they would be willing to let go of Clint Frazier or Garcia who have both been thought of as untouchable in recent weeks, so that is big news.
Beyond that Heyman expanded to say Indians righty Trevor Bauer would be their No. 2 choice but he is becoming more and more unlikely to be dealt and Cleveland continues to compete for the top spot in the American League Central. But he did go on to say Bauer is a more realistic option than Syndergaard.
Madison Bumgarner of the Giants and Robbie Ray of the Diamondbacks also remain options for New York, though Bumgarner may not be available.
The trade deadline is July 31 at 4 p.m. ET.
