The New York Mets are one of the league's top sellers with the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline just about here.
Although this is the case, one Mets player who has been creating chatter as a potential trade candidate is expected to stay put with the NL East club.
According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Mets are not looking to move catcher Luis Torrens by the trade deadline.

"Several teams are looking for catching, but Mets have no plans to move Luis Torrens, one of the best defensive catchers in game," Heyman posted on X.

With the Mets struggling so much this season, it is understandable that some wondered if they would trade Torrens. However, with this update from Heyman, the expectation is that he will be staying put in New York.
Torrens would have had the potential to be a strong addition to a contender's roster, though. Teams are always on the hunt for strong defensive catchers.
However, it seems that Torrens is a player that the Mets want to keep around as they look to turn things around next season. He should continue to be a solid veteran in their lineup, and it makes sense when noting that he is signed through the 2028 season.
In 66 games this season with the Mets, Torrens has recorded two home runs, 12 doubles, 20 RBI, and a .216 batting average. This is after he had five home runs, 29 RBI, and a .226 batting average in 92 games for the Mets during the 2025 season.
