The New York Mets have been one of the busiest teams this offseason, adding a ton of talent all across the roster. But, they might not be done.

While they’re keeping tabs on some of the top free agents, the Mets have some extra ammo to swing a trade. One of their best trade chips is infielder Brett Baty, who no longer has a spot after the Bo Bichette signing.

ESPN’s David Schoenfield proposed a very fun trade using Baty with the Boston Red Sox that would land the Mets a Gold Glove outfielder in 26-year-old slugger Wilyer Abreu.

Mets trade proposal sends Brett Baty to Red Sox for Wilyer Abreu

Schoenfield’s proposed trade would be a straight one-for-one swap, with the Mets sending Baty to the Red Sox for Abreu. This trade, as Schoenfield writes, would be a “perfect match.”

Abreu and Baty are both 26 years old, and they each are under club control for the next four years. They’re pre-arbitration, and very valuable to their respective clubs.

While Abreu has shown more in the Majors, with 7.3 bWAR in three seasons compared to Baty’s 3.1 in the same amount of time, the fits for both teams make a lot of sense.

The Red Sox, after losing Alex Bregman to the Chicago Cubs, need an infielder. Baty would be a perfect option to go after.

The Mets, meanwhile, could use some outfield help instead of fully relying on Carson Benge as a full-time starter next season.

From the Mets’ angle, their infield is crowded, and while it might not be so in 2027, going all-in for the 2026 season is already what the team has done with the Bichette, Freddy Peralta, and Luis Robert Jr. additions.

Abreu would be an incredible get for the Mets, as he’s coming off a solid 3.2 bWAR season with 22 home runs, 69 RBIs, and a .786 OPS and 116 OPS+ in 115 games for Boston last year.

Combined with a second consecutive Gold Glove, Abreu is a clear top trade target for the Mets this offseason. Sending Baty for Abreu, as Schoenfield’s proposal suggests, would be a coup for the Mets.

If this could actually be a completed trade, the Mets should have no qualms about doing it. While they might have a weaker long-term solution in the infield, the upgrade of Abreu in the outfield is more than worth it.
