Mets weigh trade options for infielder Mark Vientos this offseason

Following a career-worst 2026 season, New York Mets infielder Mark Vientos is a candidate for a potential offseason trade. Despite recording -1.0 bWAR this year compared to 3.1 bWAR in 2024, the infielder remains under three years of club control. Because he is entering his first year of salary arbitration, his relatively low cost makes him an attractive target for several franchises. Analysts suggest that both rebuilding teams and World Series contenders might express interest in acquiring him to fill roster spots. While the Mets are not expected to receive a significant return for the player, the team is exploring the possibility of a move before the 2027 season begins. The organization could also consider non-tendering him if a suitable trade partner cannot be identified in the coming months.
