Yankees Reportedly Interested in Trading for Mets SP Zack Wheeler

We all know the Yankees are going to be pretty aggressive at the trade deadline, in fact they already have been with the Edwin Encarnación trade, but could a swap with the Mets be on the way?

With the Mets in the middle of another mediocre season, they could look to be sellers at the MLB trade deadline and one player many teams figure to make a run after will be Zack Wheeler. This includes the guys in the Bronx.

Contenders are keeping a close eye on Mets, who’d prefer to be a buyer but would have big pieces to sell if they did do so. Zack Wheeler is the most logical big player who’d go if they sold (assuming they held Thor). Many teams — including Yankees — like Wheeler a lot.

After landing Encarnacion in a trade on Saturday night, don't think for a second the Yanks are done making moves.

Wheeler would make total sense for the AL East powerhouse. It's no secret the Yankees are searching for some help in the starting pitching department, and Wheeler could make a monster difference come this fall. The 29-year-old hurler is 5-4 this campaign, with a 4.87 ERA.

Zack Wheeler is really good this year. Here’s why:https://t.co/hxpQOfOKTG

With Luis Severino's status for after the All-Star break still up in the air, landing Wheeler before the deadline would be a major win for the Yankees. Let's see if the two sides will be able to get some sort of a deal done.
