Mets' centerfield trade pursuit includes 3 different All Stars image

It's not a secret that the New York Mets could use an upgrade in centerfield.

And with the MLB trade deadline fast approaching, time is running short.

ESPN's Buster Olney thinks there are three names the Mets could consider:

  • White Sox's Luis Robert Jr.
  • Red Sox's Jarren Duran
  • Orioles' Cedric Mullins

All three have been All Stars.

"The Mets will track the center-field options closely, with that position being the most obvious spot to upgrade," Olney writes. "Could Baltimore's Cedric Mullins represent an upgrade? The White Sox's Luis Robert Jr.? Is Boston's Jarren Duran actually available? These are questions to be answered in the Mets' front office."

The Mets have about two weeks to answer the questions.

Their hopes of getting to the World Series could depend on who winds up trotting out to centerfield each day in the blue and orange.
