Mets' Luke Weaver seen as prime trade chip ahead of deadline

Phillies already scouted him as a rotation option

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 241 min read

What happened: Luke Weaver is drawing attention as one of the Mets' most valuable pieces available before the trade deadline. New York already fields interest from other clubs, with the Phillies evaluating Weaver and rotation options earlier this week.

Why it matters: The Mets sit at 40-57 and have shifted to sellers, making veteran arms like Weaver logical trade pieces before the deadline. Moving him would let New York add to a farm system already under evaluation as it retools for 2027.

By the numbers: Mets are 40-57 this season, 1-4 over their last five with a one-game losing streak, scoring 4.1 runs per game while allowing 4.7.

What to watch: Watch for further trade interest to surface as the deadline nears.
