The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports that the Mets “are very reluctant to deal” Luis Torrens.

A few teams, including the White Sox, have been circling Torrens to improve their catching situation, but the Mets don’t appear willing to “indulge” those interests, according to Heyman. The Mets view Torrens as one of the best defensive catchers in the sport and have him under contract for just $4.75 million next season. Considering the Mets are not considering adopting any kind of rebuild, even as they are clear sellers at this year’s deadline, it would make some sense to keep Torrens around if they believe he’s a crucial part of a team they hope will compete for a World Series in 2027.
