For days, New York Mets fans and media alike have been buzzing about a potential trade with the Padres. The names in the mix? Dylan Cease and Michael King—two frontline arms who could bolster New York’s rotation.
Now, what started as speculation has turned into actual discussions, as reported by SI.com this week:
“ICYMI: As Mets On SI reported on Wednesday, Mets have spoken to Padres about both Dylan Cease and Michael King,” wrote Pat Ragazzo on X.
This isn’t just wishful thinking anymore. The Mets are exploring ways to strengthen their pitching staff, but prying away either ace won’t come cheap.
