Lefty relievers are never more popular than at the MLB trade deadline. How often is it not a need for the New York Mets? According to the latest Mets rumors, they’re not fully content with the southpaw situation in the bullpen. Brooks Raley was activated on Friday, but a second lefty remains a possibility and unquestionable need.
As Jon Heyman of the NY Post reports, Danny Coulombe is on their trade deadline radar. The 35-year-old lefty is having a spectacular season for the Minnesota Twins, and understandably a favorite of fans and apparently the front office to join an ailing Mets bullpen.
