The Mets and Padres are “engaging” in trade talks, according to a report Saturday by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Dennis Lin and Will Sammon.

Right-handed starting pitcher Nick Pivetta, outfielder Ramón Laureano and three relievers — right-handers Jeremiah Estrada and Mason Miller and left-hander Adrian Morejon — are San Diego’s reported players in discussions with New York.

The Padres, meanwhile, are reportedly inquiring about the Mets’ younger MLB players and all top prospects.

The Mets had “substantial” trade talks with the Athletics about Miller, whom the Padres ultimately landed at the 2025 deadline in a July 31 deal.

Miller was a 2024 All-Star with the Athletics. In his 22 regular-season games with the Padres this past campaign, he allowed two runs on seven hits (one homer) while striking out 45 and walking 10 across 23.1 IP. The 27-year-old is under club control through the 2029 season.

Meanwhile, Pivetta, 32, signed a four-year, $55 million contract with the Padres after splitting his career’s first leg on the Philadelphia Phillies (2017-20) and Boston Red Sox (2020-24).

In his 31 regular-season games this past campaign, Pivetta went 13-5 with a 2.87 ERA over 181.2 IP. He had a career-high 5.3 WAR and personal-best 0.985 WHIP.

Pivetta has an opt-out clause after the 2026 season, and a player option following the 2027 campaign.

The Baltimore Orioles originally signed Laureano, 31, last February on a one-year, $4 million contract with a team option for the 2026 season. The Padres landed him in a July 31 trade and exercised his club option in early November.

Laureano logged 50 regular-season games with the Padres this past year, slashing .269/.323/.489 while adding nine home runs and 30 RBI. He totaled 24 home runs, 76 RBI and a /.281/.342/.512 slash line in 132 games (82 with Baltimore).

Morejon, 26, was a 2025 All-Star and has been with the Padres for the past decade. He defected from Cuba in October 2015 and signed with San Diego the following July, working through the minor leagues before making his MLB debut July 21, 2019.

In 75 regular-season games this past year, Morejon totaled a career-best 2.08 ERA and 0.896 WHIP across 73.2 IP.

Estrada, 27, has been with the Padres since they claimed him off waivers in November 2023. In two seasons with the Padres, he has a 3.22 ERA and 1.119 WHIP over 139 games (134 IP).

The Mets are signing veteran infielder Jorge Polanco on a two-year deal, according to multiple Saturday reports.

The Athletic’s Will Sammon first reported the agreement, which is worth $40 million, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The Mets “outbid” the Mariners for Polanco, who was “very torn” over whether to stay in Seattle or leave for New York, according to The Seattle Times’ Adam Jude.

Passan added that Polanco is expected to play first base and designated hitter.

Polanco, 32, slashed .265/.326/.495 with  26 home runs and 78 RBI in 138 regular-season games for the Mariners this past season.

“There’s also somebody like a Jorge Polanco, who I think is a creative choice actually,” Sammon said this week on SNY’s Baseball Night in New York. “Everybody thinks of that guy as a third baseman, maybe a second baseman in this market. I think he could play some first base, too. And that’s not really the name that jumps to people’s minds, but he’s a pretty good offensive player and I feel like his defense is a little bit underrated. I know he’s taken some groundballs at first base. It’s just a possibility.”

He rebounded from his 2024 campaign with Seattle in which he slashed .213/.296/.355 while adding 16 home runs and 45 RBI across 118 games.

Polanco spent the first 10 years of his career with the Minnesota Twins. He slashed .269/.334/.446 with 112 home runs and 447 RBI in 832 regular-season games.

The Twins originally signed Polanco, who is from the Dominican Republic, as an international free agent in 2009.

He made his MLB debut June 26, 2014.

Jorge Polanco is heading across the country after he reportedly agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Mets, according to multiple reports. The Mets plan to use Polanco mainly at first base and designated hitter.

Polanco, 32, spent the past two seasons with the Seattle Mariners after 10 seasons in Minnesota. During the Mariners’ run to the AL Championship Series, Polanco slashed .265/.326/.495 with 26 home runs and 78 RBI.

In signing Polanco, the Mets will not have to part with any draft pick compensation after he did not receive a qualifying offer from the Mariners following the 2025 season.

Polanco’s signing comes on the heels of a rough week for the Mets. They lost Pete Alonso to Baltimore and Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers after trading Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers last month.

After acquiring Marcus Semien in the Nimmo trade and signing Polanco, the Mets have set up the right side of their infield for 2026, despite Polanco having played only one game at first base in his career.
