It’s the Mets first trade deadline with general manager Billy Eppler.
So far New York has made two trades, acquiring Daniel Vogelback from Pittsburgh and Tyler Naquin from Cincinnati.
Last season at the deadline the Mets made a move to acquire Javier Baez and Trevor Williams from the Chicago Cubs for minor leaguer Pete Crow-Armstrong. This year the Mets have connected to the Cubs again, looking for a deal to bring catcher Wilson Contreras and reliever David Robertson to Queens.
Additionally, the Mets have been in talks with the Red Sox (catcher Christian Vasquez and DH J.D. Martinez) and the Nationals (first baseman Josh Bell).
The trade market is still heating up. We’ll be updating this thread throughout the next two days with the latest reports and updates on any Mets deals around the league.

MMO’s Michael Mayer reports that nothing has changed for the Mets. They are still searching for another bat and at least one reliever. Teams they’ve been in contact with include the Red Sox, Cubs, Tigers, and Orioles.
If the Mets cannot get Contreras of either of the two in Boston, keep an eye on Baltimore’s Trey Mancini, says Sports Illustrated’s Pat Ragazzo.

Jim Bowden of The Athletic released his trade deadline primer. He provided more details on the Mets and their pursuit of J.D. Martinez.
