With the second day of the winter meetings having mostly wrapped up, the only rumors that involved the Mets on the day were fairly depressing.
The bigger rumor of the two came from Andy Martino, who reported that the team is still talking about a Starling Marte trade with the Pirates and indicated that they’d likely trade a major league outfielder in a potential deal. He specified that the Mets are open to trading Brandon Nimmo.
The other Mets rumor of that day came from Martino in tweet about Marte, in which he also mentioned that the Mets are working on unloading Jed Lowrie’s contract so the team can sign a player like Rick Porcello or Dellin Betances.
