Mets trade proposal finally cuts ties with Mark Vientos after a horrid Spring Training

It’s becoming clear that Mark Vientos may not have a long-term future in Queens, and if that’s the case, there’s not much of a reason to keep him on the roster.

The New York Mets have given Vientos a chance, but he hasn’t done enough with it to suggest that he can play at the highest level. With other options already in place, the Mets seem ready to go in a different direction. 

Another team could take a chance on him and hope the talent ends up being where it needs to be.

FanSided’s Mark Powell proposed a deal to get Vientos more at-bats, pitching a deal with the Chicago Cubs.

“At this rate, a trade seems more likely than not. The Mets have better internal options, not to mention the numerous hitters available via free agency or trade. The Chicago Cubs, who could be without Seiya Suzuki on Opening Day, could use a short-term DH option in the meantime. Vientos wouldn't be a bad fit, but it doesn't offer him the same career prospects as staying in Queens,” he wrote.

While Chicago may offer an opportunity, it could be short-lived, so Vientos would have to show the Cubs he can be a real option.

For the Cubs, though, it’s probably worth a risk. Considering Seiya Suzuki is out to start the season, adding a bat like Vientos would at least give them a right-handed look.
