The Blue Jays and Mets were in "serious" discussions Friday night on a trade that would send R.A. Dickey to Toronto for top prospect Travis d'Arnaud and perhaps another player.

Dickey is signed for $5 million in 2013, but can become a free agent next offseason and, according to sources, wasn't showing a willingness to sign an extension with the Blue Jays if moved.

The Mets have also talked to the Rangers and Orioles in recent days.
