A Change of Scenery Candidate: Brewers Urged to Target Mets’ Infielder Ahead of 2025 Season

As the 2025 MLB season approaches, trade speculation is ramping up, and one intriguing name that has surfaced is a New York Mets infielder who could benefit from a change of scenery. The Milwaukee Brewers, looking to solidify their roster for another playoff push, have been encouraged to explore a deal for the versatile player, whose potential has been hindered by inconsistent opportunities in Queens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The infielder in question is Brett Baty, a former top prospect for the Mets who has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled to carve out a consistent role. Known for his power potential and solid defensive ability at third base, Baty was expected to become a cornerstone of the Mets’ infield. However, injuries, competition for playing time, and sporadic offensive production have stunted his growth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2024, Baty posted a .238 batting average with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 112 games—a respectable showing but far from the breakout season many anticipated. With the Mets’ roster crowded by other infield options like Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, and a returning Ronny Mauricio, Baty could find himself on the outside looking in again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Brewers, acquiring Baty represents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity. Milwaukee’s infield remains a question mark, especially at third base, where consistent production has been elusive. While the team made strides in 2024, falling just short of a deep playoff run, adding a young player like Baty could give them both a short-term boost and a long-term building block.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baty’s left-handed bat would also provide balance to Milwaukee’s predominantly right-handed lineup. Pairing him with stars like Christian Yelich and Willy Adames could give the Brewers a more dynamic offensive approach, while Baty’s defensive versatility allows him to slot in at multiple positions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A deal between the Mets and Brewers could benefit both sides. The Mets, with their win-now mentality, may prefer established major-league talent or pitching depth in return. Milwaukee has a strong farm system and some young arms that could entice New York. For Baty, a fresh start in a less pressurized market like Milwaukee could unlock his full potential.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Spring Training looms, both the Brewers and Mets will need to evaluate their rosters and decide if a trade makes sense. For Milwaukee, targeting a “change of scenery” candidate like Brett Baty could be the spark they need to compete in 2025. Meanwhile, for the Mets, parting with Baty could clear the path for other rising stars and add assets to fuel their postseason ambitions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time will tell if this rumored move becomes a reality, but it’s a scenario worth watching closely.
