The Mets spent time at the winter meetings debating whether to make top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler available in trades, per the New York Daily News, which cited three team sources.
The News reports the Mets might consider dealing Wheeler if Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton becomes available.
"If you could do that, you would have to," one Mets official said. "You trade the pitcher for the everyday player almost every time."
