History of Trades Between the New York Yankees & New York Mets


Two big things are going down tonight inside the state of New York that pertain to Major League Baseball, the August 1st trading deadline and the beginning of yet another Subway Series between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. We should have plenty on the blog pertaining to the actual on the field product throughout this Subway Series but for this post I wanted to focus on the trade side of things. How many times have the New York Yankees and New York Mets hooked up for a trade in their histories and were any of them significant?
