According to the Post Standard, the Syracuse Sky Chiefs are willing to make a deal with the Mets if they make Syracuse their new home. According the report, the Chiefs, a publicly owned team, would sell a stake to the Mets organization. Officially, neither the Chiefs or Bisons can make any sort of offer to the Mets till after midnight tonight, though rumors have already circulated that the Mets and Bisons have reached an unofficial agreement.

Its like all the fun of trade rumors, but with full teams. For what its worth, if we end up in Syracuse, hopefully the Wilpons can use their new partial stake to give the team a cooler name. Sky Chiefs? Seriously? Sure, there’s nothing really grand about Syracuse in which to name a team after, but we can only have so many ariel based minor league teams in a row. Maybe the Syracuse Mr Met Jrs?
