The Mets are finalizing a trade to acquire Cubs shortstop Javier Baez, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Mets will also be receiving right-handed relief pitcher Trevor Williams as part of the agreement. Per multiple reports, Mets center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong—the organizations fifth-best prospect according to MLB.com—will be going to the Cubs.
The deal is pending medicals.
MLB Network's Mark Feinsand first reported the trade.
Baez, a two-time All-Star, will join Francisco Lindor in the team's infield. When asked earlier this week about his a possible future destination, Baez told Mega 106.
