Red Sox got lucky the Yankees fans fell in love with Torres during the season and made him untradeable for DeGrom.
Mets weren’t trading DeGrom without a stud and the Yankees made Torres untouchable.
Yankees rotation was their downfall.
I could never envision the NYM trading DeGrom to the NYY. Doesn't even matter the compensation. NYM ownership is stupid but not so stupid as to help the NYY win a WS title.
