Stroman is under team control through the 2020 season.

There were more conversations than there was action. For us, we werent ultimately interested in rental pieces.
Wheeler, meanwhile, has a 4.71 ERA in 20 starts so far in 2019 and has spent his entire six-year career with the Mets.
In particular to the players that have expiring contracts, we wanted to make good baseball moves, Van Wagenen said. Zack Wheeler matters to us.
The Mets enter play Wednesday five games out of the Drew Brees T Shirts second National League wild-card spot with a 51-55 record.
Were the underdogs," Van Wagenen said. "Were chasing the rest of the pack.
