5 Mets trade destinations for Mark Canha if the team sells

3) The explosive offense of the Texas Rangers continues to look for options that fit the left field of the Mets

The Texas Rangers are one of the best offenses in MLB. The team has the highest batting average and on-base percentage in the league and is second in OPS, behind only the Atlanta Braves.

Despite this, within the Rangers' priorities, acquiring a consistent offensive left field is necessary. Throughout the season, Robbie Grossman has been managing the position but has failed to produce consistently and has a profile closer to a fourth outfielder.

Canha's value isn't high, but the fact that the Mets can assume his contract is appealing to teams as it gives them monetary flexibility to make other trades and acquisitions. This increases the Mets' chances of getting more than they could for a player of this profile.

Because the Rangers have other MLB roster needs, the Mets target prospects. A trade involving the right-handed pitcher Marc Church (No. 19 prospect) from the Rangers would make sense.

For the Rangers, Church is a potential but volatile player who would end up in relief due to a limited arsenal. For the Mets, Church can represent an important piece moving forward due to his fastball that sits between 94 and 97 mph and his age, being an almost MLB-ready talent.

For some scouts, Church has a closer ceiling in MLB due to his nasty stuff, but he must work on his change-up. Trade between these two teams would cover the needs of both, without implying excessive cost or sacrifice.
