Mets Eye Alvarez Trade, Seek Pop in Bats

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Mets are marred in a 12-game losing streak and desperate for some pop in their bats. Star Outfielder Juan Soto is set to return after sitting out 15 games with a right calf strain, which could give them a much-needed lift right away. But the lineup still has plenty of holes, and if they can't snap out of this funk soon, they might start selling off pieces before the trade deadline. On the flip side, they could swing big for the future by targeting Houston Astro Slugger, Jordan Alvarez. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Alvarez as the perfect fit, especially pairing him with Soto to create one of baseball's scariest duos. He's leading the majors with 10 home runs and 24 RBI's this season, despite some injury hiccups. Alvarez is a lead from 2021 to 2024. He cranked out 30-plus homers multiple times with an OPS overpoint, 959. He's locked in for $26 million each of the next three seasons, including 2026.

1:01The Mets revamped farm system, boosted by arms like Jonah Tongue, gives them real trade ammo if Houston keeps stumbling and New York turns things around. Just a kind of move to reload for a deep run. You've been listening to New York Mets News today, AI-powered team coverage.
