NY Mets may find it hard to trade Mark Vientos if 2023 playoff hero is on the block

MLB Trade Rumors recently listed New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos as one of their top 40 trade candidates heading into the offseason, ranking at number 31. After what looked like a strong breakout performance in 2024, Vientos struggled badly in 2025. However, he's not the only third baseman in MLBTR's list coming off a rough season that once looked like he secured his position on his team for the long run. They also list Texas Rangers' third baseman Josh Jung at number 25. If the Rangers end up shopping Jung, it may make it harder for the Mets to deal Vientos.
