One of the NY baseball writers tried to say the Mets should swap Zack Wheeler to the Yankees for Brett Gardner. That made for a nice laugh.
Even if the terms were more even, you'd never see a blockbuster trade happen between those two teams. Neither team would want to risk trading a guy across town who can end up becoming an actual difference maker. That's why the Mets and Yankees have only ever swapped spare parts on the rare occasions that they've traded.
