The Yankees and Mets Each Have A Player the Other Covets

With about six weeks to go until the Major League Baseball trade deadline, the Mets and Yankees each have a player that the other team covets.

One player could move by the end of July; the other would be a post-season acquisition.

A fan favorite, there has been speculation for some time that Alonso will not end the season in a Mets uniform.

A free agent at the end of the season, the odds of the Mets resigning him seem to get smaller each day, leading to speculation that the team might try to move him.

One of the teams said to be very interested in Alonso is the Yankees.

Let's face it - Anthony Rizzo is struggling, and Alonso could be a short-term solution to the problem.  The Yankees would probably be more interested in a left-handed bat at first, but they might have some interest in seeing what the Mets would want in return.

To date, Soto has been everything Yankees fans were hoping he would be - an absolute beast at the plate.

Another free agent in waiting, his price tag seemingly goes up on a daily basis.  And with Scott Boras as his agent (Boras also represents Alonso), the sky might be the limit.

So consider this scenario - the Mets trade Alonso to the Yankees, and then go all out this offseason to sign Soto.

And while Yankees fans may not want to hear this, it might be an easier sell for Soto in Queens than you might think.

With the Yankees, he's another star.

With the Mets, he would be THE star.

If that's important to him, and Mets owner Steve Cohen is willing to open up a bank vault or two....

MORE EPISODES OF WDHA'S TWO-MINUTE DRILL WITH JIM MONAGHAN AND CHRIS SWENDEMAN

Curtis Kay- We Miss You- A phrase I say almost every day. In fact, we all do at WDHA.

It's been four years since we lost our legend. The icon, friend, and our brother Curtis Kay.

June 8th 2020- A phone call and day on the air I will never forget.

Curt fought a brave, valiant battle with cancer for many years and his love for WDHA and all things rock, listeners, and station family never changed. It got stronger. He was here every day, rocking with you- his radio family. When he felt well when he did not.

Curtis started his career at WRNW in New York and spent most of his career at WDHA- His radio home.

There are so many songs that remind us of Curt! "Thunderstruck" from AC/DC was one that Curt always blasted at full volume, (in fact he blew our speakers out a few times!) Curt loved John Mellencamp, Dave Edmunds, George Thorogood (his last live interview btw), and Halestorm and Joan Jett. Curt was always a supporter of women in music. He helped get so many New Jerseyans home from work every single day! And blew the whistle at 5p for everyone.

It is always appreciated when listeners call us or email us with a Curtis story, request, or something that reminds them of him.

We truly can't believe he's gone. It's especially hard to believe it's four years later, however, we have his presence here with us at our WDHA studio every day. Curt's photos are still up, he's still on our website, and our studio is named after him above the door. Please enjoy our photo gallery of Curtis' memories and if you have a photo you would like to share with us, please email- TC@WDHAFM.COM.

"Thank You Much For The Use Of The Ear".

No Curt we Thank You.
