The New York Mets are "confident" they will be able to trade Matt Harvey.

According to a report, there are "four to five teams interested" in taking a chance on Harvey.

The Mets designated Harvey for assignment on May 5, which means his situation must be resolved by the 12th.

If he's not traded, Harvey would need to go onto waivers. If he were then to pass through unclaimed, he'd hit the open free agent market.
