Billy Eppler - on whether the Mets made an offer for Ohtani or Soto “I can’t comment on either “ On Alvarez and being ready to play in the major leagues “we think he has more development in the bat and defensively “ but in regards to Vientos “he’s getting close”Billy Eppler - on whether the Mets made an offer for Ohtani or Soto “I can’t comment on either “ On Alvarez and being ready to play in the major leagues “we think he has more development in the bat and defensively “ but in regards to Vientos “he’s getting close” The trade deadline is just over a week away, with August 2 being the last day for any big league trades. So far, the Mets have been relatively quiet, with their only trade being for Daniel Vogelbach from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Since the Mets are a large market team looking to win now, they are the center for most trade rumors. When asked about if there were any offers made for Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani, Mets general manager Billy Eppler said, "I can’t comment on either." "Can't comment on that" means they don't wanna reveal who they've offered. "Can't comment on that" means they don't wanna reveal who they've offered. The New York Mets also have a lot of prospects that are almost major league ready. Catcher Francisco Alvarez has been on fire for Triple-A Syracuse, and could be called up by the end of this season. Eppler was asked about Alvarez possibly contributing in the majors where he said, "We think he has more development in the bat and defensively." Many Mets fans were disappointed in Eppler's most recent trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. This sent reliable reliever Colin Holderman away for Daniel Vogelbach. Since the Mets are looking to strengthen their pitching, it does not make a lot of sense to trade one of their best pitchers in the bullpen.

What the New York Mets and Juan Soto trade could look like

2022 T-Mobile Home Run Derby If the Mets want to go after , they will have to give up a huge trade package. Soto is just 23 years old and will dominate the league for the years to come. His value is almost unmatched compared to any other player in Major League Baseball. Soto would be a better deal than Ohtani simply because of the age.

That said,knowing Alvarez, Baty, and Vientos will all be in the majors next season,would the Mets settle for a smaller deal like going for Josh Bell at the TD and a reliever without giving up a top prospect? The Mets will likely have to trade a big leaguer and 3-4 of their top prospects. They will also have to take on Patrick Corbin's roughly $25 million per year contract. The trade could look something like this: Nationals Recieve: J.D. Davis, Francisco Alvarez (AAA), Ronny Mauricio (AA), Alex Ramirez (A+) Mets Recieve: Juan Soto, Patrick Corbin Giving up this many prospects is risky, but it could be very beneficial in the long run. Juan Soto is a generational talent, and the could really use him on the squad. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
