Reports surfaced during the offseason that the New York Mets and Detroit Tigers discussed a swap involving Michael Conforto and J.D. Martinez, but that doesn't appear to have been the case.

A source told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com "emphatically" that the notion was not seriously discussed at all.

The Mets did, however, touch base with the Tigers regarding Martinez prior to re-signing Yoenis Cespedes.
