Mets Target Pasquantino for First Base | MLB News

The Mets are poised for a bold trade deadline move, shifting from selling off veterans to building for the future—led by David Stearns and owner Steve Cohen. With Carlos Mendoza gone, the focus is on acquiring long-term talent, especially at first base. A potential blockbuster: trade Vinnie Pasquantino (hamate injury, 32 HRs last year) to KC for Brett Baty, Ryan Clifford, and Jack Wenninger. The Mets’ farm system gives them leverage to land a power bat while KC gets defensive versatility and upside. It’s not guaranteed, but if KC sells, the Mets could finally fill that first base hole and reshape their roster for years to come.
