Marcus Stroman traded to the Mets for two pitching prospects

Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson are the two players coming back to Toronto

The writing was on the wall for a Marcus Stroman trade in the next couple days, but I’m not sure any of us predicted it would be to...the Mets?!

There was a New York team at the center of much of the trade speculation, but it wasn’t this one. There have been rumblings of a 3-team trade with the Padres, so we will wait and see what the return is.

Update 1:

Update #2:

Regardless, it appears to be the end of the Marcus Stroman era in Toronto. This leaves two players on the Blue Jays 25-man roster with ties to the 2015 postseason in Aaron Sanchez and Justin Smoak.

Best of luck to you, Marcus, and thanks for everything.
