Why Mets should go all-in with Evan Longoria deal: Steve Phillips

Former Mets GM and SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio host Steve Phillips breaks down the Mets and Yankees with The Post’s Justin Terranova heading into the Aug. 1 trade deadline.

Q: Do the Yankees have to sell?

A: Yes, the worst thing that can happen for the Yankees right now is that they win games. They are not a playoff team, and it doesn’t make any sense to me for them to go for it this year. They are in a position to maximize value on Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller, Aroldis Chapman and Carlos Beltran.
