The New York Mets had a brutal week at the Winter Meetings.
The New York Yankees had a more steady week, but they've got some catching up to do to keep up with the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays.
They may soon both be trading a player away from the same position.
That's what ESPN's Jeff Passan reported in a new article on Thursday. He writes that the Yanks and Mets may both be involved in the market of shipping second basemen away.
For the Yanks, that'd mean Jazz Chisholm, and it'd be Jeff McNeil for the Mets.
This is what Passan wrote:
"A second baseman is going to move. Maybe multiple. There is too much interest in Ketel Marte, Brendan Donovan and Brandon Lowe for a deal not to be consummated. It's not just them, either. Jake Cronenworth is available. The Yankees have listened on Jazz Chisholm Jr. The Mets' overhaul could include moving Jeff McNeil."

Marte, Donovan and Lowe have been the more rumored players, for sure, so it's not clear what it'd take for someone like Chisholm to get moved.
McNeil probably has a lower trade cost, so he could appeal to a team looking for a smaller upgrade.
Chisholm isn't someone the Yankees have a ton of incentive to move. He's been a lot more good than bad since coming to the Bronx before the 2024 trade deadline.
If Chisholm moved, it'd have to be for a big-time talent.
But hey, it's the hot stove season, so it's interesting to speculate on both Big Apple teams making moves at the keystone.
