Talks to send Cano, Diaz to Mets gain traction

There is “significant momentum” and “an increasing expectation” that the Mets and Mariners will complete a blockbuster involving Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz, sources told Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan on Thursday morning. A potential deal would give New York an eight-time All-Star infielder in Cano and one of the game’s premier closers in Diaz, who posted 57 saves with Seattle in 2018.
