MLB/Mets' Seyoung Connection 'split? The Giant Beckoned Wayland

The Mets, who have been disappointing this season, are increasingly likely to be sellers before the trade deadline, and with many playoff contenders in need of bolt-up starters, Cy Young lineman Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander are both off career levels this year. However, the past performance and rich playoff resume still attract the attention of many teams.

Last offseason, the Mets failed to retain Jacob deGrom, known as the "best pitcher on the planet," but instead signed a two-year, $86 million contract with Verlander, who won the AL Cy Young Award, tying him for the league's highest salary with Xue, who signed the year before. The first two starts, made up of two Hall of Fame pitchers on half a foot, were the league's most expensive and luxurious Cy Young lines.

However, the reality is not as full as the ideal, Weiland opened the season due to injury until May to usher in the first board, and Xue is facing the biggest slump in recent years, this season's results even did not reach the league average level, but also involved in the "grease" storm. Even so, both men have World Series championship experience, postseason appearances combined more than 60 games, rich postseason experience into October battlefield has a great influence on the stability of the army.

The Mets are currently 7.5 games away from the wild card, with the gradual arrival of the 731 transaction limit, Weyland and Xue are the two pitchers in the hands of the Mets the most valuable assets, although the two annual salary figures are not small, but will expire next year, if the Mets are willing to bear part of the salary, it is estimated that it will be a hot target in the trading market.

The Rays, Orioles, Rangers, Dodgers and Astros are all in need of a backup rotation, and according to MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi, the Giants are the teams most interested in Verlander, even though Verlander has a full no-trade clause in his contract. But he wouldn't say no to being traded to a team with a chance to play in the playoffs.
