Mets and Padres Discussing Multiple Trade Options
The Mets and Padres are engaging in trade discussions. This, according to Ken Rosenthal, Dennis Lin, and Will Sammon of The Athletic.
No deal appears close, but there are options of multiple players that could make sense to be dealt, and the teams are led by two presidents of baseball operations who are eager to make maneuvers to help their roster.
Despite the talks on the rumor mill earlier this offseason, neither Francisco Lindor nor Fernando Tatis Jr. are a part of these talks.
But, right-hander Nick Pivetta, outfielder Ramón Laureano, and relievers Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon and Jeremiah Estrada are the names that have been discussed that “would fit the Mets’ needs,” according to the Athletic’s reporting.
It wouldn’t be the first time New York has shown interest in Miller, and Pivetta and Laureano are both solid veterans who would help the Mets bolster their team.
When it comes to a possible return, the Padres are interested in the Mets’ “young major leaguers and all of their top prospects.” According to the article, San Diego is eager to better their team, while simultaneously keeping the payroll steady.
It remains to be seen what, if anything, will come of these talks, but if news were to continue to break as often as it has this past week, stay tuned.
