A Pittsburgh radio host chimed in about one of the latest New York Mets rumors and got one detail wrong to pretty much confirm its illegitimacy.

The New York Mets have contacted the Pittsburgh Pirates regarding a potential trade for starting pitcher Mitch Keller after the Chicago Cubs initially registered interest, according to Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

In response, the Mets are doing what any smart front office would: scanning the trade market with growing urgency. According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Noah Hiles, the Mets have recently contacted the Pirates about Mitch Keller. That nugget was shared by Mets Batflip on X, sparking a flurry of speculation about Keller’s fit in Queens.
