QUEENS, NY — David Stearns admitted on Monday that if his Mets cannot pull off a deal for a center fielder before MLB’s July 31 deadline, he would be comfortable with Jeff McNeil getting the bulk of the action at the position for the remainder of the 2025 season.

“Guardians are listening on relievers, including stars Cade Smith and Emmanuel Clasé,” New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman reported on Saturday. “Prices are understandably high. They are seen as not too likely to trade either top pen guy, and with MLB’s easiest closing schedule, they aren’t even a certain seller.”

Teams are showing interest in Cardinals lefty Steven Matz, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. St. Louis is also likely to at least consider offers for righty relievers Ryan Helsley and Phil Maton.
