The Mets and Padres have discussed several players in trade talks, per a report from Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, who note that no specific trades are imminent or guaranteed to happen. But the Padres have talked about Nick Pivetta, Ramón Laureano, Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon, and Jeremiah Estrada in the talks and have asked the Mets about young major league players and top prospects.
Pivetta signed a four-year, $55 million deal with San Diego ahead of the 2025 season and can opt out after the 2026 or 2027 seasons. Having been on the Mets’ radar last offseason, too, he was fantastic in San Diego this year, as he finished the season with a 2.87 ERA and a 3.49 FIP in 181.2 innings.
Laureano has spent time with five teams over the past three seasons, but he’s coming off his best season ever at the plate, as he hit .281/.342/.512 with a 138 wRC+ in 2025. He signed a two-year, $10.5 million contract with the Padres ahead of the season. For his career, he has a 114 wRC+ with a .253/.323/.445 line, and he spent the vast majority of this season playing the corner outfield spots with some appearances in center field.
Miller is one of the best relievers in baseball, having joined the Padres in a trade with the A’s during the 2025 season. Entering his age-27 season, he’s under team control through the 2029 season and has a 2.81 ERA with a 2.47 FIP in 160.0 major league innings.
Morejon had a 2.08 ERA and a 2.28 FIP in 73.2 innings this year, and he’s spent the entirety of his major league career with the Padres. The 26-year-old lefty is under team control through the 2026 season.
And last but not least, Estrada had a 3.45 ERA with a 3.55 FIP in 73.0 innings this year. He had a career 3.47 ERA, is entering his age-27 season, and is under team control through the 2029 season.
