Ranking the 5 players the NY Mets could still trade for today by how likely it is

1) Luis Robert Jr.

If you have a problem with the season Mullins is having, you’ll be enraged to see the Mets have any interest in Luis Robert Jr. It’s far deeper than the here and now. Robert has hit better of late and has a far greater ceiling and team control. The Mets even have team options on him for the next two seasons. They can bail if he isn’t producing.

The Mets are considered to be the favorites to acquire Robert. Based on how punch first, confirm that was the guy who cheated on your sister later the Mets have been, it’s a reasonable expectation to believe they’ll come away with Robert today.

When it comes to upside, Robert provides the Mets with far more than Mullins. The cost will be steeper but the fit is better for a club intent on competing again next season.

Against lefties this year, Robert is batting .297/.422/.568. It’s an area of weakness for the Mets. A .226/.303/.356 slash line is what they’ve produced as a team. It’s not even all because of their left-handed hitters either. Several righties have reverse splits this year.

Robert adds value in center field defensively and at the plate if he gets back to his full potential. There is a big “if” with him and the mets should proceed cautiously. What they can’t do is not add any bat all.
