The Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are among the teams that have been in contact with the New York Mets about a trade for Dominic Smith.

Smith, 27, has struggled this season. He's been a part-time option off the bench for the Mets, who sent him to Triple-A Syracuse for a stretch across May and June.

However, Smith still comes with the pedigree of a first-round pick. He's earning $3.95 million in 2022 and has two seasons of club control remaining beyond this year.
