Last week, we learned an interesting New York Mets trade rumor. According to Matt Ehalt of The Record, teams were interested in seeing what it would take to acquire Jeff McNeil.
McNeil is certainly a strange trade candidate. It’s nothing personal. He just doesn’t fit the mold as someone swapping uniforms from a losing team to a winner this season.
The 26-year-old has been a productive player this season. His power numbers have spiked and his batting line has also reached new levels. What makes this so interesting is that he has yet to play a single big league game.
