As the offseason commences, the New York Mets are poised to embark on a new direction. It appears that the team is not looking to undergo a complete rebuild or immediate retooling, at least not at this moment.
Given this, it seems unlikely that Pete Alonso, a key player in trade discussions, will be traded. The same goes for Jose Quintana. If the Mets are not making major changes, he should remain with the team as well.
However, several other players are not as secure. It’s these five Mets we should consider as the most probable candidates to be traded this offseason, for better or for worse.
Mark Vientos often finds himself at the center of trade discussions every offseason, largely due to the fact that the Mets don’t have a clear spot for him. Once considered a third base prospect, Vientos has struggled to solidify a place in the major leagues, despite impressive performances at Triple-A.
Vientos shares similarities with Dominic Smith, who also faced challenges finding a spot in the lineup alongside Pete Alonso. Vientos’ inability to find a new position at the major league level further complicates his future with the team.
Despite showing flashes of power, Vientos has struggled to find consistent success in the big leagues. As a result, his future with the Mets remains uncertain.
