Former Met R.A. Dickey said he hopes the World Series would be Blue Jays-Mets. That way, it could come down to a Game 7 in which he faces Noah Syndergaard, who, along with Travis d’Arnaud, was involved in a six-player trade that sent Dickey to Toronto.
“What a script that would be,” Dickey said Monday. “If I could face Syndergaard in Game 7 [of the World Series]. Wouldn’t that be something?”
Dickey won 39 games in three seasons with the Mets and went 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA when he won the NL Cy Young Award in 2012. That December, the Mets shipped Dickey and Josh Thole to Toronto in exchange for four players, including Syndergaard and d’Arnaud.
“When I was a Met, I loved being a Met,’’ said Dickey, whose Blue Jays trail the ALCS 2-1. “I’m hoping that we play those guys in the World Series. It certainly would make for a great narrative.’’
Syndergaard has a 2.77 ERA in three playoff appearances (two starts) for the Mets after going 9-7 with a 3.24 ERA in the regular season. D’Arnaud, who hit .268 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in the regular season, is 5-for-26 with two home runs and five RBIs in the playoffs.
“I know that they’re doing well as a team, and I’m sure those guys are a part of that,” Dickey said. “And the hope when you make a trade like the trade that I was involved in is that it’s good for both teams, that’s the hope. And it certainly has been good for their team and it seems to be all right for our team right now.”
