The New York Mets are trading longtime second baseman Jeff McNeil to the Oakland A's, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports. 

In return, the Mets will receive an unnamed rookie-ball pitcher from the A's, per the report. The Mets will also send cash to Oakland to help cover McNeil's $15.75 million salary and $2 million buyout on a team option for next season.
