New York Mets offer top prospects in a blockbuster trade proposal to Padres for ace Dylan Cease to boost 2025 rotation.

Will Sammon of The Athletic recently reported that New York could deal from its infield depth to fill other needs. The Mets have a quartet of young, cost-controlled contributors in Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuña to dangle on the market.

Even after re-signing Pete Alonso and Sean Manaea and adding Juan Soto, Clay Holmes and other veterans to the roster, the Mets are heading into the trade deadline with a chance to fortify their World Series aspirations. The team has been linked to frontline starter Dylan Cease, who could suddenly be on the San Diego Padres' trade block.
