NEW YORK! Where I was born. Where my heart lies. Where my family resides. Crazy excited for this part of my journey. Some things were meant to be! , Marcus Stroman, via Twitter.
CANADA. TORONTO. Words can’t really explain the extent of my appreciation and love. Beyond thankful and blessed to have played for this unbelievable nation, Marcus Stroman, via Twitter.

the possibility that the Mets deal either
Noah Syndergaard or Zack Wheeler
before the trade deadline.
