New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson reiterated that the team likely won't be major players at the trade deadline, when he spoke to the media before Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Alderson noted that he "likes steak-and-sizzle as much as the next guy," but that any deal the Mets make would likely be smaller in nature.
"This is the entertainment business," Alderson said. "You talk about steak and sizzle. But at the same time, you have to be realistic about where one can improve short term and long term. Last year (getting Yoenis Cespedes) worked out really well, but deals at the deadline don't always work out really well.
