I’m not saying the New York Mets will sell at this year’s trade deadline. However, I’m also not committed to a period of buying either.
The team has a big challenge ahead of them to finish June with an overall season record of .500. If they repeat the trade deadline sales from the past two seasons, they’re going to go into it with the best trade chip they’ve had in a long time.
Zack Wheeler may not be the most appealing player on the Mets. Strictly looking at soon-to-be free agents from past seasons, he is far better than recent ones the team has dealt away ahead of the deadline.
