The New York Mets<\/a> are looking like a club that’s going to be a major trade deadline seller this summer, and while there’s still over a month until the trade deadline, they’ve already made a move.<\/p>\n

Late Wednesday night, the Mets traded lefty pitcher David Peterson to the Chicago Cubs<\/a> in exchange for infield prospect Cole Mathis.<\/p>\n

Now, the Mets have to ask a simple question: Who’s next to go in a trade? Well, according to MLB insider Will Sammon of The Athletic<\/a>, the Mets are reportedly not planning to continue selling after this Peterson trade, at least not yet.<\/p>\n

Mets trade plan after David Peterson Cubs deal revealed<\/p>\n

“The trade does not indicate that the Mets are staring a sell-off, according to people familiar with their plans who were granted anonymity so as to freely discuss the situation,” Sammon reports.<\/p>\n

This is a noteworthy update from Sammon, as one would naturally expect the trade of Peterson to be a precursor to the Mets trading more players from their roster.<\/p>\n

But, instead, it looks like a one-off trade to shake up the pitching staff after Peterson’s struggles this season.<\/p>\n

He hadn’t been pitching well for the Mets this season, and moving on from him seemed like an obvious move.<\/p>\n

It’s still a little unexpected that the Mets aren’t continuing to sell off their assets just yet, despite this team looking more and more like a clear seller.<\/p>\n

Freddy Peralta and many other trade candidates will have to wait to be dealt, if the Mets are sellers at all this season, until closer to the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Even at 34-46, the Mets are under 10 games out of a postseason spot, and could make up the difference between now and the August 3 trade deadline.<\/p>\n

If they don’t, the Mets continuing their sell-off would make a lot of sense. But, for now, the Mets aren’t expected to continue their fire sale following the Peterson deal.<\/p>\n
