The New York Mets are reportedly showing interest in acquiring Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe ahead of the trade deadline, a development deemed "worth watching." Lowe, currently on the injured list with ankle/foot issues but expected to return relatively soon, has posted a .269/.320/.480 slash line with 19 homers in 86 games this season. He has an .810 career OPS over eight seasons with the Rays, primarily playing second base, and remains under team control through 2026.
