Zac Gallen is a potential New York Mets trade target before the deadline, and his already strong disdain for a Mets rival makes him an even more perfect fit.

As the Yankees are expected to be buyers, one team potentially looking to sell at the deadline would make an excellent trade partner for New York. Multiple MLB insiders, including ESPN's Jeff Passan, MLB Network's Jon Morosi and MLB.com's Bryan Hoch have linked the Yankees with a potential swoop for a pair of Arizona Diamondbacks standouts.

Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen was impressive his last time out, giving up one earned run and striking out 10 Giants in seven innings.
