The Mets and Phillies may not be done trading with each other.

After New York dealt infielder Asdrubal Cabrera to Philadelphia for pitching prospect Franklyn Kilome on Friday, the Mets and Phillies are discussing a potential deal that would involve Jose Bautista, according to SNY.tv's Andy Martino.

No deal appears imminent, and the Phillies are also interested in Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline.

The 37-year-old Bautista has hit .216 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs this season, slashing .233/.382/.421 in 58 games with the Mets.

Prior to Friday, the Mets and Phillies hadn't traded with each other since 2001.
