The Jeurys Familia smoke is clearing.
Although the trade is not finalized, it appears the Mets will be dealing their closer to Oakland in exchange for a pair of prospects, reliever Bobby Wahl and third baseman William Toffey, in addition to international slot money, a source told The Post’s Joel Sherman.
Wahl is older — 26 — and has spent this season in Triple-A, where he has a 2.27 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings. He has a fastball that touches triple digits.
Toffey, 24, was Oakland’s 17th-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com. A 2017 fourth-round pick, the left-handed hitter was slashing.244/.357/.384 in 48 games in High-A.
The trade winds intensified Friday for Familia, who was then not used in a save situation. The Mets confirmed they were deep in discussions to ship off the to-be free agent.
