UPDATED! Full List of Mets' Trade Targets with Season Falling Apart

The wheels are falling off the Mets' highly-anticipated 2023 season. GM Billy Eppler and washed-up manager Buck Showalter continue to fail the team. 

Earlier this season, I highlighted some potential trade candidates here. But things have already changed rapidly, as the Pittsburgh Pirates have surged to relevance, while the St. Louis Cardinals have tumbled into oblivion. Let's get a closer look at my possible trade candidates, now: 

Teams I DON'T Think Will Trade Right Now

Atlanta Braves
Pittsburgh Pirates
Milwaukee Brewers
Los Angeles Dodgers
Arizona Diamondbacks
San Diego Padres

Tampa Bay Rays
Baltimore Orioles
Toronto Blue Jays
Boston Red Sox 
Minnesota Twins
Texas Rangers
Houston Astros
Los Angeles Angels 

Criteria I am looking for/focused on 

1. You aren't gonna get good players from good teams. 

2. Mostly you wanna pick from good players on bad teams. 

3. You probably won't even get players under 27 years old from bad teams. 

4. So I'm looking mostly, 28+ years of age on non-contenders or potential non-contenders. 

KEY: BOLD = very desirable player in my opinion
