2017 has not been kind to the New York Metropolitans. Plagued by injuries that have decimated both their rotation and lineup, the reality is that the Mets will be sellers at this year’s trade deadline.

After a rough first half of the season, the Mets will not be participating in the postseason for the third consecutive year.

However, the team does have some assets with expiring contracts that they could deal at the trade deadline before they hit free agency at the end of the season.

These free-agents-to-be include Jay Bruce, Lucas Duda, Neil Walker, Curtis Granderson, and Addison Reed.

With the July 31 deadline fast approaching, New York can use this lost season to help reload the farm system as the team prepares for 2018 and beyond.

Here are five prospects that the Mets should target at the 2017 trade deadline.
