Mired in an atrocious 2026 season after falling apart last year, the New York Mets are likely to be big sellers ahead of Major League Baseball's trade deadline on Monday, Aug. 3.Despite the highest payroll in baseball, the Mets are in last place in the NL East but have a handful of high-end players to trade, including starting pitchers Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes, as well as relievers Luke Weaver and Brooks Raley.Luis Robert Jr., acquired in an offseason trade like Peralta, is one of a few Mets position players who could also be moved in the days to come. The former top prospect has struggled with injuries again this year but his name continues to ring out in trade rumors.Franchise shortstop Francisco Lindor is unlikely to be dealt this summer, but it's a move the Mets could seek to revisit this winter as Steve Cohen's franchise retools again.Here's a look at some of the Mets players who could be traded:Freddy PeraltaThe Mets' prized offseason acquisition, Peralta was scratched from his start Friday in anticipation of a possible deal. Acquired from the Brewers in a major trade after finishing fifth in NL Cy Young voting, Peralta has struggled with the Mets, going 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts. The 30-year-old was 17-6 with a 2.80 ERA last season and could net the best return of anybody the Mets are looking to deal.Clay HolmesReturning soon from a broken leg, Holmes will have plenty of interested contenders as a more budget-friendly alternative to Tarik Skubal or Peralta."It's easy to get caught up in a lot of what-ifs, a lot of stories that may or may not be true," Holmes said after a recent rehab start. "You just really have to focus on what you can do."Luis Robert Jr.The Mets took a flyer (for a lot of money!) on Robert in the offseason, but the man who clubbed 38 home runs in 2023 has been unable to stay healthy in 2026 just like the rest of his career. The 28-year-old would be a low-risk trade for suitors, so long as that team isn't expecting him to play every single day. Robert has a $2 million buyout on his $20 million 2027 option and the Mets would probably have to send some money along to make a deal happen.Luke WeaverPerhaps the best reliever available at the deadline and signed through 2028 the 32-year-old right-hander has a 1.88 ERA in 43 innings after signing a two-year deal with the Mets over the winter. Brooks RaleyAnother bright spot in the Mets' horrific season, the 38-year-old southpaw has a 2.01 ERA in 44 games and is holding left-handed hitters to a .560 OPS. New York could probably get a prospect or two for a guy whose services are always in demand.Marcus Semien Turns out that trading for a 35-year-old due $72 million over three years coming off two seasons with a sub-.700 OPS was not a great move! The Mets would have to take on a large chunk of Semien's salary if they want to unload the infield this summer, but finding a partner won't be easy considering his miserable performance and contract through 2028.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Six crucial players Mets could trade at MLB deadline

Analysis: Sangar one of Ligue 1's top midfieldersBrentford's signing of Mali international Mamadou Sangar from Lens underlines the formidable force they are becoming, both on and off the pitch.Long lauded for their smart recruitment, Brentford have strengthened considerably since the turn of the year.The recent arrivals of Jaidon Anthony and Callum Wilson have added two proven Premier League performers to Keith Andrews' squad, complementing the earlier acquisition of Austrian defender Jannik Schuster and, in January, fellow exciting youngster Kaye Furo.Sangar, however, quite possibly represents the club's most eye-catching piece of business yet.A rangy all-rounder capable of dominating games with and without the ball, the 24-year-old arrives in west London having quickly established himself as one of Ligue 1's top midfielders.Blessed with touch, technique and an impressive temperament, Sangar excelled for a Lens side that finished second in the French top flight before lifting the Coupe de France for the first time in the club's history.His outstanding campaign earned him the Marc-Vivien Fo Award, presented annually to the best African player in Ligue 1, and saw him linked with several of Europe's leading clubs.Brentford have won the race for his signature, however, with the midfielder putting pen to paper on a five-year deal that will keep him at Gtech Community Stadium until 2031, with a club option of a further year.So, what can Brentford supporters expect from Sangar next season?The former Red Bull Salzburg and Rapid Vienna midfielder's energetic, all-action style looks well suited to English football, and he has already shown he can influence matches at both ends of the pitch.Three sweet left-footed strikes and four assists in Ligue 1 illustrated Sangar's ability to finish moves himself, but it is the quality and quantity of his work between the boxes that should really excite Brentford fans.Last season, Sangar ranked second in Ligue 1 for tackles won (86), third for ground duels won (159) and joint-10th for interceptions (40), those three standout statistics underlining his fierce competitive streak and athleticism.Once possession has been won, the Mali international is equally impressive. Adept at threading quick passes into his forwards, as evidenced by his 343 accurate passes into the final third, Sangar also regularly spreads play with raking deliveries off his favoured left foot.The Bees' new recruit also finished among Ligue 1's top-20 players for successful dribbles and free-kicks won, highlighting his ability to progress possession and resist pressure.As Lens head coach Pierre Sage observed, Sangar understands "what a given match requires". Whether a game demands greater control, increased tempo or more attacking impetus, he has already shown an ability to adapt accordingly - a trait that should serve him well in the Premier League.Sangar's arrival will add further competition to Brentford's midfield, while the club will also hope young Dutchman Antoni Milambo can make a major impact following his recovery from the long-term injury that curtailed his debut season.Already a 16-cap Mali international, Sangar arrives in west London with his best years still ahead of him. If his performances in France are any indication, Brentford may have stolen a march on many of their Premier League rivals.

Everything a team needs: What those who know Sangar best say about Brentfords record signingBrentford have completed the signing of Mali international Mamadou Sangar from French club RC Lens.The 24-year-old moves to west London following an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, helping Lens finish second in Ligue 1 and qualify for the Champions League. He was also named in the divisions Team of the Season and voted the best African player in the French top flight.His move to the Bees marks the latest step in a career that began at Yeelen Olympique in Bamako and has included spells in Austria, Belgium and France.Here, those who have coached, recruited, selected and played alongside Sangar explain what Brentford can expect from their new midfielder.Pierre SageSangars former head coach at LensHe is effective both in winning the ball and in carrying the game forward. That is rare today.Usually, you have one or the other. He has both.He has a very positive relationship with the game. He is a joyful player in the sense that he is very positive in what he does because, as soon as he has the ball, he wants to play.It is very easy to welcome a player like that and integrate him into a team.'He is effective both in winning the ball and in carrying the game forward. That is rare today'Markus SchoppSangars former head coach at HartbergMamadou took an enormous step forward in his career with us. He became much more consistent and was impossible to imagine the team without.He was rewarded with a call-up for the Under-23s Africa Cup of Nations, where he captained the team and had a very good tournament.Mamadou is a real asset to our game, both against the ball and in possession, through his personality and through what he gives us in the dressing room.Jean-Louis LecaLens sporting directorMamadou is an influential midfielder both defensively and offensively.Samson BaidooSangars former team-mate at Salzburg and LensHe is there when he does not have the ball and he is there when he has it. He tries to score. He runs a lot. It is everything a team needs. And he has a very funny personality. He is a great guy.Malang SarrEx-Chelsea defender and Sangars former Lens team-mateI had already heard a little about him because I know some of his team-mates with Mali.From the first training session, everything positive I had been told about him was confirmed. He is quite impressive in his maturity.He is not afraid to ask for the ball or to play. He likes duels in both directions, offensively and defensively. He has the ability to construct moves and also to finish them. That is quite rare for a midfielder.When you watch him, you see there is much more to his game than his left foot. He is capable of doing beautiful things with it.We know left-footed players can be a little different, especially with his attacking qualities. He can take players on, carry the ball and shoot.'When you watch him, you see there is much more to his game than his left foot. He is capable of doing beautiful things with it'Frdric KanoutFormer Mali international and ex-Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Sevilla forwardHis technical qualities stood out immediately. He had vision and an ease that the others did not have.Robert KlauSangars former head coach at Rapid ViennaOnce you had seen his performances for Hartberg, you did not have to think for long. It was clear that, if there was a chance to get him, we had to sign him.He always finds good solutions on the ball. Tom SaintfietFormer Mali head coachSome players are physically strong, intelligent or technically strong. He has almost everything.What strikes me most is his intelligence. He knows the game and reads it. When he has the ball, he always finds a good solution.He is a star, even if he does not act like one, because he is very humble.He is a star, even if he does not act like one, because he is very humbleNicolas FernandezTechnical consultant at Sangars former academy Yeelen OlympiqueHe had an incredible ability to feint. You thought the ball was there, but it had already gone somewhere else.
