i do not think the mets will trade any star players.
The Mets improved to 6-1 in extra-inning games this season and a major league-best 16-3 since 2022.
LF: Tommy Pham, Mets
The 35-year-old veteran played himself into an everyday role as the Mets’ left fielder this season, posting a solid .823 OPS through 71 games. But New York still finds itself well below .500, trailing the Wild Card race by 8 1/2 games, so dealing expiring contracts might be a move for the club even if the Mets don’t go into full-on sell mode.
Buzz Factor: Medium
It feels just as likely that the Mets decide to become buyers and try to make a run, but Pham -- who is owed roughly $2 million through the end of the season -- should draw interest from multiple contenders if he’s on the block.
