If the Mets stay in the Wild Card hunt, they may not deal either player if the fans start coming out and ticket sales go up. If ticket revenues are not increasing as the deadline approaches, they will not worry about a fan backlash and they will offload one or both players. They will not get a major leaguer, a major league ready prospect , or any blue chip prospect(s) in return. They will dump as much of their salaries as they can. Essentially they will go to the highest bidders. We don't have to worry about depleting our farm system. If we take Beltran's salary, we could make up two fictional prospects for the Mets to put in the press release.
