Mets Looking at Trade Market for Pitching
The New York Mets are still interested in some of the top free-agent arms, such as lefties Framber Valdez and Ranger Suarez, but their focus right now is on "first exploring trades," league sources told Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets are interested in both rentals and pitchers with team control, putting Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal, Brewers righty Freddy Peralta, Nationals lefty MacKenzie Gore, Royals lefty Kris Bubic, and Reds righty Brady Singer in play. New York has plenty of ammunition to get a deal done with one of the top farm systems, and they are also willing to trade infielders Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio, and Luisangel Acuna. As of right now, David Peterson, Clay Holmes, and Nolan McLean are all locks for the Opening Day rotation. Expect the Mets to pick up at least one big-name starting pitcher before spring training.
