Mets, Red Sox Target Trades Following Injuries

After Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas suffered a season-ending patellar tendon injury, the team is exploring options to fill the gap at first base. Several reports suggest that Jon Singleton, currently with the New York Mets' Triple-A affiliate and blocked at the major league level by Pete Alonso, could be a trade target for Boston due to his left-handed power and recent strong performance in Triple-A. Singleton, who has recent MLB experience as a platoon player, would present a low-cost, low-risk solution for the Red Sox. Boston's short-term plan involves using Romy González and Abraham Toro, but acquiring Singleton could offer a more reliable alternative. This potential move is widely viewed as mutually beneficial, allowing the Mets to gain value from a surplus player and the Red Sox to address an urgent roster need. There is also some discussion about other options, like Bobby Dalbec, but Singleton is identified as a particularly logical fit.
