The New York Mets have long coveted Carlos Gonzalez and one baseball executive close to the situation predicted that the Colorado Rockies will seriously consider offers for the outfielder this winter.

The Rockies could even consider offers for Troy Tulowitzki.

Colorado is expected to covet a package of young position players for Gonzalez, as opposed to pitching, which makes the Mets an unlikely match.

According to a source, the Rockies consider it too risky to trade for young pitching.
