This has been another nightmarish season for the New York Mets, and it looks like they should be sellers before the MLB Trade Deadline on August 3. New York is currently sitting with the second-worst record in the National League and the fourth-worst record in all of baseball. They are 15.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East and 11.5 games out of the final NL Wild Card spot. For all intents and purposes, their season is over, and it would be a ridiculous decision not to sell.
Recently, the Mets have reportedly informed teams that almost everyone on their roster will be available for trade. That includes star shortstop Francisco Lindor. The 32-year-old is having a rough year and has a big contract, but could be a difference-maker in the playoff race if he returns to form.
Mets have informed teams that everyone but Juan Soto, Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, AJ Ewing, and Christian Scott is available, per @chelsea_janes. pic.twitter.com/OcEqL7oSMi— Underdog MLB (@UnderdogMLB) July 16, 2026His batting average is down 57 points from last season to .210, and he has posted just five home runs and 12 RBIs in 41 games. With that said, over the past three seasons his lows are .254-31-86. If he just gets back to his averages, he can help put a team over the top. What makes trading him difficult is the fact that he's in just his fifth year of a 10-year $341 million deal and already looks to be on the decline.
