Enough talk about the Yankees. SU just read that the Mets are in talks with the Chicago Cubs for catcher Willson Contreras and David Robertson, long-time SU fave for bullpen help. And… they are also looking at a trade for JD Martinez should the Red Sox become sellers (which they should by the way). No surprise here as Stephen Cohen has deep pockets and the Mets need to go for it this year. Stay tuned.

Now that Giancarlo Stanton is going on the IL for up to 3 weeks, let’s see what Brian Cashman has in mind. Stanton has been terrible for 6 weeks so this won’t be a big loss for the Yankees in the regular season. Clearly, he is an asset in October. Looks like Joey Gallo will get a full-time shot now to make one last good impression. SU has noted that he is making more contact lately as in “Just got under it!” fly balls to the shallow outfield. But hard to imagine he will be here in another week or so.

SU predicts the Mets will make the bigger splash come the trade deadline than the Yankees. Subway series anyone?
