The New York Mets are still very much in playoff contention, even though the team is just 15-19 in the standings. There are still 26 games to be played, and while the team has been hit hard by injuries, especially on the pitching side, there is still hope of making a run at the playoffs.
However, to reach that destination, the New York Mets need to make a move today. Starting pitching is an area of need, but not as much as getting relief help. The team’s best reliever, Seth Lugo, has been moved to the rotation, and that has left a huge hole in the back of the bullpen, which has been reflected in the results.
