The New York Mets aren't sellers in this year's trade deadline drama, but they could end up stealing a scene anyway. While teams jockey over Eugenio Suárez like he’s the last TV on Black Friday, an unexpected twist has emerged: the Mets’ crowded infield might secretly hold the key to another contender’s plan B. As teams weigh pricey offers and last-minute moves, a few Mets players could be the unexpected wildcards.
Buster Olney recently listed the Mets and three of their infielders, Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, and Luisangel Acuña, as potential Plan B options for the Reds if they miss out on Suárez.
