Sandy Alderson denied there were any active trade discussions with the Texas Rangers about trading a starter.
He added that it’s “fair to say” the Mets have had little to no recent talk about trading Dillon Gee or any other starting pitcher in recent weeks.
If a trade were to materialize, he expects it would happen much later in spring training if it were to happen at all.

Sources have told Chris Cotillo that the Texas Rangers are still interested in trading for Mets starter Dillon Gee.
It is unclear if the sides are in active discussions about a deal for Gee, says Cotillo, though Texas has been interested in the right-hander dating back to the Winter Meetings.
One possibility that is being bandied about is a deal that would send Gee and a few other pieces to the Rangers for shortstop Jurickson Profar, who is out for the year after shoulder surgery. The Mets could see Profar as a buy low target.
We’ll keep an eye on this and see if it picks up any steam.
