The Mets are exploring trade options for their younger infielders while holding onto key players like Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Jeff McNeil. The team is open to discussing trades involving Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, or Luisangel Acuña. Baty, a former top prospect, is seen as the most likely to be traded due to underwhelming offensive performance, despite being a useful player defensively. Vientos, previously a core piece, has dramatically underperformed this year, further complicating his standing with the team.
The Mets are willing to trade from their major league infield while keeping major assets like Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Jeff McNeil off the table.
Among the younger infielders, Baty has long seemed the likeliest to move, struggling to meet offensive expectations with a .236 batting average this season.
Baty's inconsistency has featured a rough April, followed by a journey between Triple-A and the majors, yet he remains under club control through 2029.
Vientos, who previously showed promise with a .266 average last season, has slumped significantly this year, hitting just .221 with no offensive success.
