Brett Baty Draws Trade Interest From Several Teams

The New York Mets are actively seeking to improve their starting rotation this offseason, showing interest in several pitchers, including Nathan Eovaldi, Jack Flaherty, Nick Pivetta, and Walker Buehler, as they rebuild following the departures of some key players. Eovaldi, who had a solid season with the Rangers, is a priority for Texas, which might complicate the Mets' pursuit. Additionally, rumors are swirling around a potential trade involving third baseman Brett Baty, who is receiving interest from other teams, but the Mets are not actively shopping him. Baty, a former top prospect, has struggled with consistency in the majors but has shown promise in Triple-A. His future with the Mets may hinge on the team's plans regarding star player Juan Soto and the potential re-signing of Pete Alonso. The Mets are weighing their options carefully as they navigate this critical offseason.
