New York Mets need to open up first base at trade deadline

Back in 2015, the New York Mets were on the verge of trading away Wilmer Flores, but the deal ended up falling through. Three years later, the Mets are in a different position to trade Flores as a seller instead of as a buyer and New York should take advantage of the way Flores is playing right now.

Over his last 18 games, Flores has a slash line of .295/.328/.574 with four home runs and 14 RBIs. He is tied with Asdrubal Cabrera for the most RBIs on the Mets over the last 30 days.
