Have the Mets BOXED Themselves in with Mark Vientos? | Sell-Low or Make Vientos a Bench Bat

New York Mets shake up their roster with the blockbuster addition of Bo Bichette—could Mark Vientos be on the trading block?

Suddenly, roles at first base and designated hitter are up for grabs as Brett Baty and Jorge Polanco become central figures in the lineup shuffle.

Is Vientos’s home run power enough to secure his future in Queens, or will a trade provide a clearer path for rising talent?

Ryan Finkelstein assesses the ripple effects of Bichette’s arrival, spotlighting Vientos’s trade value and possible landing spots, from the Rangers and Twins to the Rockies and Padres.

The analysis explores potential returns, including impact relievers and big-league-ready prospects, while questioning whether it makes sense for the Mets to move Vientos now or gamble on his upside.

With potential trade chips and roster strategies front and center, this episode offers crucial insight into the Mets’ lineup construction and 2026 season outlook.
