With the playoffs a pipe dream, the New York Mets are firmly in evaluation mode for 2018. The Mets started that process by trading away Lucas Duda and Addison Reed while promoting Amed Rosario to the major leagues. While most expect the process to include promoting young talent to the majors, the Mets are also evaluating how the veterans on expiring deals could fit onto their team in 2018. Two players who fall into that category include Asdrubal Cabrera and Jay Bruce, who the Mets shopped before the trade deadline without receiving a ton of interest. The wide assumption has been that the Mets will try to move Cabrera in August and potentially hold onto Bruce, but the opposite may be true for Cabrera.<\/p>\n
