Stroman's Not Too Happy Being Traded To The Mets

I was away for a few days.

I got quite of few news items to get to, especially in the National Hockey League.

MLB

As you probably already know, the Toronto Blue Jays have traded Marcus Stroman to the New York Mets for Simeon Woods Richardson and Anthony Kay.

Word has it that Stroman wasn't too pleased with the trade.  Apparently, he wanted to go to the New York Yankees.

Too bad Marcus.  You don't always get what you want.

The Blue Jays made two more trades on the weekend.

Toronto traded Eric Sogard to the Tampa Bay Rays for two players named later.

The Blue Jays also traded David Phelps to Chicago Cubs for pitching prospect, Thomas Hatch.

NHL

The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded Ryan Callahan to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Mike Condon.

The Lightning have also re-signed goalie, Andrei Vasilevskiy to a eight-year, $76 million contract extension.

With that price, Vasilevskiy better stop more pucks next year.
