Mets Trade Frenzy: Who's In, Who's Out?
17 Jul
Summary
- Mets are actively fielding trade offers and are prepared to sell players.
- Juan Soto is considered unavailable, but most other players are on the market.
- Several key pitchers and relievers are prominent trade candidates.
The New York Mets have reportedly begun a significant trade-off, actively listening to offers for a substantial portion of their roster. This strategic shift indicates a willingness to sell as the team navigates a difficult season, currently holding a 40-57 record.
While top prospects Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, Christian Scott, Nolan McLean, and superstar Juan Soto are deemed unavailable, the Mets are reportedly open to discussing deals for nearly everyone else. This includes star shortstop Francisco Lindor, although his substantial contract, no-trade clause, and current performance present considerable obstacles to any potential transaction.
The team is expected to focus on players nearing free agency, such as relievers Brooks Raley and A.J. Minter, and pitchers Clay Holmes and Freddy Peralta. Peralta, in particular, with his past All-Star achievements and Cy Young voting history, could be the club's most valuable trade asset.
Other players drawing potential interest include relievers Luke Weaver and Huascar Brazobán, catchers Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens, and infielders Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio. Weaver, who has impressed with a 1.85 ERA, may be one of the top relievers available before the August 3 trade deadline.
