The 2 trades Mets should explore — if they have SS need
Going into the 2013 campaign, Profar was ranked as the majors’ No. 1 prospect by Baseball America, Baseball Prospectus and MLB.com, and played 85 games at age 20 for Texas. Since then he has endured multiple shoulder surgeries and not played a game in the majors the past two years. He exclusively has been a designated hitter in the Arizona Fall League and, according to the scouts, looked fine.
The Rangers have the rising Rougned Odor at second and Elvis Andrus at short, and though they would love to trade the seven years at $103 million left on Andrus’ deal, there is no likely match (the Mets included). So there is no obvious spot for Profar — if healthy — to play. But how do you put a proper value on a guy who might be great or might be damaged goods with a chronic shoulder problem? The Rangers say he will be a full go in spring, so teams probably have to wait to see him in Arizona.

Ok... Profar for deGromm and Syndergaard should do it.
