A pair of injuries to Davis left hand has actually limited him to only 14 games this season.
Since June 1, Bryant has only a. 568 OPS and four house runs in 117 PA, and his Statcast numbers are strong general but middling when it comes to difficult contact numbers.
If Cohen did license such a huge go-for-it push, the monetary element of a Bryant trade may not be a concern for the Mets.

Kris Bryant is drawing interest from several groups as the trade deadline methods, with MLB Networks Jon Heyman (Twitter link) reporting that the Mets are among the clubs considering the previous NL MVP. There isnt any indicator that the Cubs are close to a deal with the Mets or any other group about Bryant, though tonights trade of Joc Pederson shows that the Cubs are indeed open for business with more than two weeks to go before the trade due date.
This isnt the first time that Bryant has actually been linked to the Mets, as Chicago and New York apparently had conversations including Bryant throughout the offseason (though Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said reports of those talks were unreliable). Speculatively, if J.D. Davis was certainly gone over as part of a potential trade return and if he is still on the Cubs radar, it could be that nothing may get done in between the Mets and Cubs about Bryant till Davis makes his predicted return from the hurt list Friday and reveals that he is healthy. A set of injuries to Davis left hand has restricted him to only 14 games this season.
It isnt a surprise that the Mets (or any competitor) would be examining in on Bryant, considering his potential value as a difference-maker for a group in October. Bryant has rebounded from an injury-plagued 2020 to hit.271/.353/.502 with 16 homers over 329 plate appearances this season, with the caution that many of that production came within the first two months. Since June 1, Bryant has just a. 568 OPS and four crowning achievement in 117 PA, and his Statcast numbers are strong general however middling when it pertains to difficult contact numbers.
With totally free agency looming this winter, Bryant has a lot of incentive to step up big over the rest of the season and put himself in great position for a big free agent agreement. Offered the trade speculation that has actually swirled around Bryant for over 2 years now, it would not actually be surprising to see him remove at the plate if/when he finally did get dealt.
If Cohen did authorize such a huge go-for-it push, the financial aspect of a Bryant trade might not be an issue for the Mets.
On the field, Bryant undoubtedly brings lots of worth to the NL East leaders. As Heyman notes, Bryants ability to play multiple positions (both corner infield spots and all three outfield spots) contributes to his worth, especially for a New York team that hasnt gotten much production and has been aiming to solidify 3rd base.
