Analyst Trade Ideas Link Mets To Astros' Bryan Abreu And Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu

Fresh analyst trade pitches underscore the Mets' unresolved bullpen need.

Overview

  • Just Baseball’s Joe Browne floated a 3-for-1 swap sending David Peterson, Nick Morabito and R.J. Gordon to Houston for reliever Bryan Abreu.
  • Coverage frames Abreu as an elite strikeout arm with a four-seam fastball that touched 101 mph and averaged about 97.3 mph last season, per Statcast.
  • The bullpen remains a priority after Edwin Díaz left in free agency, even after the Mets added relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver.
  • ESPN’s David Schoenfield proposed a one-for-one deal of Brett Baty to the Red Sox for two-time Gold Glove outfielder Wilyer Abreu, with both players still pre-arbitration and under four more years of control.
  • Wilyer Abreu is coming off a 2025 season with 22 home runs, a .786 OPS and a second Gold Glove, while one report notes Baty is on the 10-day injured list with an oblique issue.
