In a seven-player swap, the Mets acquire highly-regarded minor leaguers Travis dâArnaud, a catcher, and right-hander Noah Syndergaard, in addition to backstop John Buck and outfielder Wuilmer Becerra from the Blue Jays in exchange for right-handed pitcher R.A. Dickey and catchers Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas. New York decided to deal their 38 year-old knuckleballer, last seasonâs NL Cy Young award winner with a year remaining on his contract, to procure two of Torontoâs top prospects.
