Though the July 31st trade deadline has passed, the Mets aren’t done trying to trade their veterans. Over the course of the last few days, the Mets have placed many players on the disabled list. Six, though, have cleared waivers and can be traded to any team: Jay Bruce, Asdrubal Cabrera, Yoenis Cespedes, Curtis Granderson, AJ Ramos, and Neil Walker.

Jay Bruce

Bruce has been one of the Mets best players this season, both offensively and defensively. Despite his 29 home runs, 122 wRC+, 2.1 WAR, six defensive runs saved and 2.6 UZR, no team saw it fit to trade for him before July 31st. Now that he has cleared waivers, he might be the best bat available in August.

The Rockies could be interested in him considering how disappointing right fielder Carlos Gonzalez has been this season, batting only .228 with seven home runs. After Jacob deGrom hit right fielder Mitch Haniger in the face, the Mariners have Leonys Martin in right field. Martin is hitting .160 in 21 games, shedding light on the Mariners’ lack of depth in right field. Even their starter Haniger is hitting only .255 with seven home runs in 58 games. Bruce would be an improvement over both.

The Angels, two games under .500 at the time this article was written, are in contention for the AL Wild Card. Should they look to make a last-minute addition to improve their team, Bruce could interest them. Not as a right fielder, but as a first baseman or designated hitter. They have Albert Pujols, but after him they have only Luis Valbuena (.191/.267/.373, 11 home runs) and C.J. Cron (.231/.287/.375, six home runs). Should they look to add a first baseman, Jay Bruce (who has been learning the position) could add depth to their line-up. The Angels are on the cusp of being serious contenders, so their being buyers depends on how well they play in coming weeks.

Curtis Granderson

The same teams that are interested in Bruce would theoretically be interested in Granderson, except the Angels because they don’t need an outfielder (Mike Trout could probably do it by himself). Both are good players, but Granderson’s recent high level of play as well as his pristine reputation for being the best guy gives him value you can’t put into numbers.

Yoenis Cespedes

Yes he has cleared waivers. No he will not be traded. He has a full no-trade clause and even if he didn’t, a team looking to trade for him would have to trade most of their farm system as well as a few MLB-ready players. It’s possible… But so improbable it was almost not even worth including him in this article.

Neil Walker

Walker has been a bright spot for the Mets since they traded Jonathan Niese for him last offseason. Unfortunately, he went down with a partially torn hamstring just when his trade value was reaching his peak. He has been lackluster since his return form the disabled list, but his impressive track record could still be enticing to a few teams in need of infield help.

Currently playing second base for the Cubs is rookie Ian Happ who is hitting .244/.319/.491 with 14 home runs in 68 games. He has hit just .196 in the second half, and neither Addison Russell (currently on the disabled list) or Javier Baez have hit enough this season.

The Red Sox just traded for Eduardo Nunez who has been playing second base since the call-up of rookie Rafael Devers. Devers, 20, is hitting .350 in 40 at-bats at the time of this article, but if he cools off in the coming weeks the Sox could look to add either a third or second baseman, plugging Nunez into either second or third base depending on who they acquire.

As I mentioned earlier, the Angels could look to add a first baseman. While Walker is inexperienced at first, the Mets have played him there perhaps looking to add to his value. The Angels could bite if they can’t get anyone else to play first.

Asdrubal Cabrera

The Red Sox could be interested in acquiring Asdrubal Cabrera for the same reasons they’d acquire Neil Walker. Cabrera and Eduardo Nunez would man second and third base for the Sox, providing more depth for an already powerful Boston line-up.

AJ Ramos

While it is unlikely the Mets trade Ramos this season, he is a reliever with closing experience and we all saw how sought-after good relievers were on and before July 31st. The Diamondbacks, Nationals, Rockies and Astros are all teams that could be particularly interested in adding Ramos and could be willing to pay enough to pry him away. Again, it is unlikely as Alderson traded for him with 2018 in mind.
