The Mets’ season spiraled out of control far quicker than anyone could have reasonably anticipated. Even those who thought New York’s NL club would miss the 2026 postseason probably weren’t forecasting a 27-35 record placing them third from the bottom in the league, trailing a rebuilding Nationals club or a $75MM-payroll Marlins team.<\/p>\n

Many Mets fans are — understandably! — waving the white flag already and calling for the team to be deadline sellers. The Mets, unsurprisingly, aren’t in any rush to part with veteran players. No team is pivoting to sellers in early June. The Mets might very well end up in that bucket come late July\/early August, but unless they’re 10 or more games back at that point, the expected return doesn’t necessarily outweigh the faint playoff chances they might still harbor. That’s sure to be an unpopular sentiment among a vocal portion of the fan base, but let’s take a look at who and what the Mets could reasonably peddle. The list of appealing trade candidates isn’t especially compelling (which is a big reason they’re in this mess in the first place).<\/p>\n
