Mets Make Mark Vientos Decision After Luis Robert Jr. Trade Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Right-handed slugger Mark Vientos is in his fourth season with the New York Mets after making his debut in 2022.

Bednar broke a two-month streak of not allowing an earned run on Monday night, but still picked up his 17th save of the season. Meanwhile, Santana owns a 1.39 ERA and minuscule 0.84 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings.

New York Mets corner infielder Mark Vientos is in the midst of a disappointing season, one in which he's failed to build on last year's momentum. Predictably, Vientos has found himself the subject of recent trade rumors leading up to the July 31 deadline -- a dynamic he opted to talk about with reporters on Monday.

SNY insider Andy Martino reports that the New York Mets have been discussing third baseman Mark Vientos in trade talks and appear willing to move him this week. While not an aggressive sell-off, the conversations mark a shift in how the organization is weighing its infield options heading into the trade deadline.

His opposite-field, bases-loaded shot off Dylan Cease in the fifth inning was just his seventh homer in 74 games of his encore.

The New York Mets have been linked to some trade rumors recently, some even indicating they could cut ties with young star Mark Vientos.

“To be honest with you, I feel like every year besides last year I’m in trade talks,” Vientos told The Athletic on Monday. “It’s the same thing. I don’t really care. All I’m really focused on is just getting better. That’s it.”

The Guardians are fielding big interest in All-Star LF Steven Kwan. The Dodgers, previously linked to Harrison Bader, are now believed in on Kwan. The Mets could be a fit for Kwan, too, assuming they believe he can play CF or they can move Brandon Nimmo back there.

The New York Mets could be looking for starting pitching depth at the trade deadline. Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks could be a rental arm they can get back on track.
