The latest round of New York Mets trade rumors indicates that the Mets will have stiff competition for Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant. With Bryant on a Cubs team that is hovering around .500, it is likely that they will become sellers at the Trade Deadline, especially since the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers went on a long winning streak before the All-Star break to further cushion their hold on the division.
