Overview
- Reporting points to a wide valuation gap, including a cited target near $400 million and an estimated shortfall of roughly $250 million between the sides.
- New pieces highlight active trade chatter that names the Phillies, Blue Jays and Mets as potential destinations rather than indicating any imminent move.
- Speculative packages floated include top prospect Andrew Painter from Philadelphia, Toronto’s young arm Trey Yesavage, and Mets options ranging from Jonah Tong or Brandon Sproat to established starters such as Kodai Senga.
- MLB Trade Rumors characterizes an offseason deal as unlikely, assigning very low odds despite acknowledging that clubs have occasionally moved stars before walk years.
- No agreement or trade has been reported, and observers expect the next meaningful signals to come as front offices convene during league meetings.
