Eric Hosmer is not going to be traded to the New York Mets.
Amid speculation that a deal sending the former All-Star first baseman from the San Diego Padres to Queens was being discussed, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported the trade won't happen.
Sherman added the Mets "deliberated for several days" about taking on roughly $24 million in salary for Hosmer before deciding against it.
Per The Athletic's Dennis Lin, Ken Rosenthal and Andy McCullough, one trade concept discussed between the two teams involved Hosmer and Chris Paddack going to New York in exchange for Dominic Smith.
