The Mets are trying to move a player with better alternatives also on the trade block.
Trading Jeff McNeil is something every fan has at least contemplated with a far larger majority seemingly ready to part with the long-tenured New York Mets utility man. A bad year that ended worse than it began, McNeil is one of the few core players who seems to have outworn his welcome.
Useful last season as a defender in center field, his struggles late in the season (and misplay in Philadelphia) had more fans than ever before ready to gas up the car and drive him to the airport.
