Could the New York Mets upgrade center field in a rare trade with the New York Yankees? A top NY MLB insider believes the Yanks have a ‘great fit’ for their in-city rivals that they may be looking to move.

Put it this way, even if the Mets just had as good a do-over day as the Yankees did: The Yankees still had a much better Trade Deadline than a year ago, when if they’d brought in better reinforcements — even in a lesser market than this one — they might have won their first World Series since 2009. Which sometimes feels like 1909 to Yankee fans.
