MLB insider names his best NY Mets trade deadline fit, it might not be who you think

Sitting just under a week from the trade deadline, all eyes are on David Stearns as he looks to upgrade the New York Mets. The Mets, who currently sit at half a game above the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East, look to bolster several areas in need of enhancement, including centerfield and their bullpen.

While most Mets fans name Eugenio Suarez or Luis Robert Jr. as dream deadline targets, ESPN's Jeff Passan believes Minnesota Twins reliever Griffin Jax is the best candidate for New York to acquire.

Jax will strike some, if not most, as an unusual target.
