The New York Metz have had a whirlwind off season, snapping up shortstop Boba Shet, reliever Devon Williams, and trading for pitcher Freddie Peralta. An outfielder, Luis Robert Jr. Now, a fresh trade idea from Bleacher reports Zachary D. Rimer has fans buzzing about another big move. It would send third baseman Mark Vientos, left these Sean Manayah, and some cash to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for designated hitter and outfielder. Masataka Yoshida, plus top pitching prospect, Connolly Early. This deal would flip two fringe Metz players into high upside talent. Yoshida comes with a $90 million contract, but he's a steady contact hitter with a career batting average of $282. Early, a 23-year-old lefty ranked 56th among prospects by MLB Pipeline, posted a 2.33 earned run average over. 19.1 Major League innings last year, and a 2.60 in the minors.

1:04Metz fans love the idea, seeing it as a steal that bolsters the lineup in rotation without losing stars. Red Sox supporters, though, would hate parting with Early's potential. The Metz would take on about $12.2 million of Yoshida's salary, which owner Steve Cohen can easily handle, given his spending spree. What makes this tempting is how it clears shaky roster spots for proven production. Manea and Vientos have struggled to lock down roles, while Yoshida adds reliable at-bats in early brings ace potential right away. If Boston bites, it could be a no-brainer for New York as they chase a World Series run. Keep an eye on this. One another blockbuster might be brewing. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
