I’m not so sure the Mets are committed to selling yet. If they decide to buy, Parada could be a trade chip for a big leaguer at the deadline.
Hypothetically if this scenario happened, I’d imagine they’d want one of our top pitching prospects. Likely Ben Brown. They need pitching and don’t have a whole lot in the farm that’s either very good, or very close if they do have upside.
I’m not opposed at all to a prospect for prospect trade, but I also believe in Amaya. So trading a top prospect for a catcher wouldn’t be my first choice. I think Parada will be very good, but I’m not sure he’s the fit I’d be looking for in that type of trade.
