NY Mets Trade For One of 3 Former Top Pitching Prospects Possible After New Rumor
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect If the New York Mets want to add starting pitching and fail to sign Tarik Skubal this offseason, a trio of former top prospects for the Seattle Mariners are allegedly available for a trade right now.
Key points
- What could a New York Mets trade for Miller, Hancock, or Kirby cost?
- That is why they have been shopping around for upgrades in the free agent and trade markets since the MLB offseason officially got underway this month.
- While the Mets have a good, young stud pitcher in Nolan McLean, they don’t have much else in their starting rotation following the 2026 season.

Additional details
- It’s why the club is willing to trade them, but it also means that they can be acquired for a reasonable price.
- On paper, it seems unlikely, but it isn’t a coincidence that their offense suffered in 2026 after he left in free agency last offseason following a year with 26 homers and 78 RBIs.
- Meaning they must have alternative options to the former Detroit Tigers star.
- However, the bidding war could reach a line the Mets do not want to cross.
- Sep 19, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller (50) pitches in the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
