Overview

  • Pat Ragazzo of Mets On SI reported the Mets recently spoke with the Nationals about a trade for left-hander MacKenzie Gore.
  • The price for Gore is described as astronomically high, and sources say talks have not progressed toward a deal.
  • Jackson Roberts of Fastball OnSi predicted Washington could trade Gore this offseason, noting new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni may act ahead of the walk year timeline.
  • Gore remains under team control through 2027, and coverage identifies the Mets and Yankees as logical suitors if Washington engages.
  • Gore made 30 starts in 2025 with a 5-15 record, 4.17 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 159.2 innings, reflecting durability and perceived upside despite uneven results.
