Will Sammon of The Athletic recently reported that New York could deal from its infield depth to fill other needs. The Mets have a quartet of young, cost-controlled contributors in Brett Baty, Mark Vientos, Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuña to dangle on the market.

Fox Sports recently released their “3 Best Trade Destinations For San Diego Padres RHP Dylan Cease” list, with the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies mentioned. All three of those teams have aspirations of a deep, October run, and would likely willingly sacrifice extra for Cease’s services.

According to Jim Bowden, Houston is the most likely landing spot for Padres starter Dylan Cease as we enter the final day before the deadline. It's a logical move — the Astros need starting pitching help as their roster continues to be wrecked with injuries, and the Padres could surely use a prospect or two in their infamously shallow farm system.
