If Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton becomes available in a trade, the Mets would have interest, according to the New York Daily News. The paper reports the Mets continue to monitor Stanton's situation, and realize a deal would likely have to include prospects Zack Wheeler and Travis d'Arnaud.
Even though the Mets just acquired d'Arnaud in the offseason, one Mets' official said that wouldn't keep the team from moving the top catcher prospect.
"You can figure the catching out later," the official said. "You have John Buck now, and hey, Brian McCann is going to be a free agent."
