The Mets get much depth to lower levels of their farm system.
played themselves into being sellers at the trade deadline, and they have a bunch of expendable trade chips they can use to bolster their improving farm system even further ahead of the July 30 trade deadline.
The Mets begin this week three games out of a Wild Card spot, but with seven teams ahead of them, it could serve the Mets best to deal some of their veterans like they did last year. But let’s be realistic here. Even if this team makes the playoffs, are they built to win in October? Probably not, given their pitching issues.
One team that could use the services of a current Met is the Cleveland Guardians, who are leading the American League Central and are competing with the upstart Kansas City Royals in the division. The Guardians are the youngest team in the major leagues. They can use a veteran with a track record of success in the postseason to offer more wisdom for their young hitters.
The last time the two franchises made a trade was the one that sent Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco to the Mets in January 2021. This time, Cleveland gains the more significant piece, in J.D. Martinez.
