What happened: The New York Mets are evaluating potential trades ahead of MLB’s deadline. Their position in the standings makes a selloff increasingly plausible, though no deal has been confirmed.

Why it matters: Moving veterans could help the Mets acquire younger talent and reshape the roster beyond 2026. Their scheduled game comes with the Atlanta Braves leading the series 2-1.

By the numbers: The Mets are 36-53 with a .404 winning percentage, a minus-62 run differential and a 2-8 record over their past 10 games. They sit 12 games out of a wild-card position.

What to watch: Watch for the Mets to clarify their deadline strategy as trade discussions develop.
