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.

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

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.
