MLB trade rumors: Mets exploring 3-team deal sending Noah Syndergaard to Padres, netting Blue Jays' Marcus Stroman image

The Mets are trying to get creative with a Noah Syndergaard trade.

New York is exploring a three-team trade which would send Syndergaard to the Padres and help get Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays, according to The Athletic.

Such a trade would land players from the Padres which would then be sent to Toronto in the deal for Stroman.

The Athletic suggests Cal Quantrill, who is a native of Canada, may be a logical target for the Blue Jays.

Several reports have indicated in recent days the Mets are determined to trade Syndergaard, who has two years left on his deal after this season is done.

This would be a pretty good indicator New York is trying to get a deal done because this is about as creative as a move as the team has made so far.

It's so creative there's almost no way to make something like that up.

It was also reported earlier in the day that there has been a lot of focus among teams on Padres infield prospect Luis Urias. He could be included in a deal as well especially considering Ian Kinsler has one more year left on his deal after this one.

The Astros and Yankees also have interest in acquiring Syndergaard, but Houston may be setting its sights on other players of late.
