The New York Mets are interested in trading for Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

Meanwhile, the Twins are fond of Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong, reports Heyman.

Ryan would instantly become the No. 1 starter in a Mets rotation that is projected to include Kodai Senga, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, Sean Manaea, and David Peterson for the 2026 season

My post 217 contained a link regarding trading Buck to the Mets.

From the article -

The New York Mets are looking to improve their run prevention this offseason and one way they can do so is by upgrading the center field position.

The Mets already made one big trade recently, swapping left fielder Brandon Nimmo for second baseman Marcus Semien. They're now being predicted by Bleacher Report to swing a blockbuster deal with the Minnesota Twins for Byron Buxton.

Per Bleacher Report's trade proposal, the Mets will receive Buxton, an All-Star center fielder, in exchange for top prospects Jett Williams, Jacob Reimer and Jonathan Santucci.

This is a trade the Mets would likely make given the level of star power that Buxton brings to the table. The Twins would also be getting a plethora of young talent that is close to the major leagues.

Buxton is under team control for three more years at $45 million total, which is a team-friendly deal. He would need to waive his no-trade clause, but he may be willing to do so now after the Twins traded away a significant amount of talent.
