A brief history of three trades the Mets and Yankees made and then cancelled.
According to Andy Martino, the Mets and
Yankees had deals in place that would have sent Jay Bruce,
Neil
Walker, and Zack Wheeler to the Yankees at different times
for prospects but at the last minute deals were cancelled.
The
Brooklyn Trolley Blogger: N.Y. Mets: Hoping Trevor May Brings Stability to
Bullpen Uncertainty. “Last year he clocked in at a career-high 96.7mph but
threw it a career-low 51.8% of the time after averaging 60.6% over his first
five seasons…Net result, he posted career-highs with a 14.7 K/9 average and
39.6 K% through 24 appearances, and 23.1 innings pitched.”
