SNY insider Andy Martino reports that the New York Mets have been discussing third baseman Mark Vientos in trade talks and appear willing to move him this week. While not an aggressive sell-off, the conversations mark a shift in how the organization is weighing its infield options heading into the trade deadline.

Vientos crushed his first career grand slam in what became the Mets' 7-6 loss at the San Diego Padres on Monday evening.
