According to John Harper of the Daily News, the Milwaukee Brewers are very interested in Noah Syndergaard. Harper also mentions the Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers as potential trade partners for Noah.

Oh, Happy Bobby Bonilla Day, in which the Mets will give the retired-for-17 years outfielder $1.19 million.
