NEW YORK -- With 10 days remaining until the trade deadline, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns on Monday said he will be "active" in the market to upgrade the club's bullpen and hinted that adding elsewhere is unlikely.
"I think providing our group some reinforcements in the bullpen would be great," Stearns said. "There are generally relievers traded at the deadline. And so I'm sure there will be some this year as well, and we'll be involved in that."
The Mets' need for bullpen help is clear.
Relievers A.J. Minter, Dedniel Núñez, Danny Young and Max Kranick have suffered season-ending injuries since the start of May.
