Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing SNY’s Andy Martino report the clubs explored a one-for-one July trade sending Grisham to Queens for Baty.
  • New York kept Grisham and instead acquired Ryan McMahon to cover third base, prioritizing present help over a controllable infielder.
  • Grisham delivered a career offensive year with 34 home runs and a .238/.349/.469 line, reversing his usual defense-first profile.
  • The Mets addressed center field by trading for Cedric Mullins, who has hit .183/.286/.283 in 142 plate appearances for them.
  • An NL scout told Martino the Yankees were open to offers on several impending free agents, and the rare crosstown talks underscored the rental-versus-control calculus as the Yankees surged and the Mets slipped in the playoff race.
