The Mets have openly expressed their desire to upgrade the lineup, particularly at DH, before the deadline, and numerous candidates have recently surfaced.
SNY’s Andy Martino reports that New York is in “active conversations” with the Pirates regarding first baseman Daniel Vogelbach, after it was previously reported by Robert Murray that the Mets had interest in the lefty who has 12 homers on the season. Per Martino, Vogelbach could be part of a platoon and replace Dominic Smith, who the team is “working to trade.”
The Mets are also open to trading J.D. Davis.
As for other potential candidates, C.J. Cron of the Rockies was reported by Martino, while Washington’s Josh Bell and Nelson Cruz have long been associated as potential targets for New York with the trade deadline now less than two weeks away.
