The Mets continue to monitor the situation regarding Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, according to the New York Daily News.
Though the Mets aren't sure if the Marlins would deal Stanton, who voiced his displeasure after the team's firesale in the offseason, the Mets realize if a trade would arise, the team would likely have to include top prospects Zack Wheeler and Travis d'Arnaud.
"In a heartbeat," said one Mets official, who is not in general manager Sandy Alderson's inner-circle of decision makers but has a voice in discussions. "Nothing against those kids, but it’s Giancarlo."
Another Mets' official seems to be in agreement.
"If you could do that, you would have to," the official said. "You trade the pitcher for the everyday player almost every time."
