This would be huge.
The New York Yankees and New York Mets don't do a lot of dealing.
But they actually line up pretty nicely to help one another before the MLB trade deadline, if they want.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden explains in a new article Monday:
"Maybe there’s even a deal to be had with the crosstown Mets, who could offer Mark Vientos for Jasson Domínguez or Cody Bellinger or perhaps Brett Baty for Trent Grisham. There just aren’t a lot of sellers at this trade deadline, so GMs will have to get creative; GM Brian Cashman has a long track record of doing that."

A Vientos for Dominguez swap is especially intriguing.
Both are young players with immense talent who haven't been the most consistent yet at the MLB level. Crossing town could give both a fresh start.
It'd also create quite the narrative down the road. It'd be very easy to keep track of a one-for-one, MLB-level trade like that, especially with both guys continuing to play in the Big Apple. It's a deal that could be won both this season, based on what happens in the postseason, but also down the road, depending on how the two youngsters develop.
