While Vientos seemed to take a stoic approach toward trade rumors, he did note that his lack of playing time makes it "extremely difficult" to improve. "No, because there's really no point," he said about taking his concerns to management. "Nobody cares. Nobody really cares, to be honest, how I feel. But it's the business."

With the trade deadline days away, the Mets remain open to trading one of their young infielders, including Mark Vientos, if the return is right.

Mauricio is one of the most promising prospects in the Mets organization.
