Should the Mets Try To Make A Trade With The A's For a Shortstop?

The Mets have been trying to figure out all offseason how they can upgrade the shortstop position. Wilmer Flores has been getting some time at shortstop, but he does not appear to be the solution. Ruben Tejada has not shown so far in spring training that he can be the every day shortstop. The Oakland A's have emerged as a possible trade market for the Mets to trade away some of their young pitcher for shortstop Jed Lowrie. The A's lost starting pitcher Jarrod Parker to Tommy John Surgery and also lost AJ Griffin and former Met farmhand Scott Kazmir. I think the A's would be an ideal trading spot for the Mets to get a shortstop. They could use some young pitching prospects such as Jacob deGrom or Rafael Montero. If the Mets don't decide to trade for Lowrie, they could also sign him in the offseason as a free agent. It will be interesting to see what direction the Mets will go in to improve at shortstop. As long as Ruben Tejada is the every day shortstop, there will be a lot of question marks and very few answers.
