New York Mets Sign a new Head Coach form Kansas City Royals…
It wasn’t supposed to be a good year for the New York Mets. And a third of the way through the year, it looked like an awful year. But…here we are!
After a torrid month fueled by Grimace, Candelita, and a bunch of really good baseball players reverting to their career norms, the Mets are somehow back in control of their Wild Card destiny. They’re 48-45 after falling to 22-33 on May 29, the infamous date when Jorge López chucked his glove into the Citi Field stands.
Now that the Mets are looking more like buyers than sellers, the discourse in Queens is shifting to what the team realistically needs at the trade deadline to do some damage in October. And the list is pretty simple: pitching, pitching, and more pitching.
But since we’re into fun here, perhaps we’ll toss a position player in the ranks of trade candidates to consider. Without further ado, here are the three sneakiest, highest-upside Mets trade deadline targets for the 2024 season!
Before the season, it looked like Tyler Anderson was doomed to live out his three-year contract on a hapless Los Angeles Angels team that had just lost Shohei Ohtani. But all he’s done this season is put up an ERA under three, rack up wins above replacement (he’s up to 4.2 already!) and, hopefully, earn himself the right to be dealt to a contender.
