Which Mets could be traded? Let's break down their chances

ATLANTA — It is July, which means it’s Trade Deadline season.

Asked about the Deadline shortly after the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza earlier this month, president of baseball operations David Stearns responded that he hasn’t thought about it at all. At the time, that made sense. Stearns has been consistent in saying there’s little point in talking trade until around the All-Star break, when most teams begin to clarify whether they’ll be buyers or sellers.

But the All-Star break isn't so far away anymore, and if the Mets win every game between now and then, they’ll still be well below .500 heading into it. Even after a 10-9 victory over the Braves on Sunday, they look the part of quintessential sellers, which begs the question: Who makes sense for the Mets to shop?

ATLANTA — With so many contending teams needing help at catcher, the New York Mets are poised to receive interest in Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are likely to trade either player.

After the All-Star break and once teams shift their focus away from the draft, the Mets, at 37-53 and 11 1/2 games out of a wild card, figure to announce their intention to sell on the trade market. Any Mets player expecting to be a free agent profiles as a trade candidate. Moving valuable players under club control, however, is probably not something they are looking to do.
