The New York Mets should be considering all options at this point in the season with the deadline approaching.
New York is on the upswing and is in contention for a playoff spot. If the Mets can maintain their momentum from the end of the first half of the season into the second half, they should get back to the playoffs. Plus, it doesn't hurt that theyto help out. The bullpen is the team's biggest weakness right now and the Mets should give the Los Angeles Angels a call to help fix this.
Los Angeles is nearing a sale and All-Star reliever Carlos Estévez has a "very high" chance of being traded,"Under-the-radar rental closer should go somewhere," Heyman said. "Trade chances: Very High." Estévez is the type of hurler who could help give the Mets another layer in the bullpen. The veteran righty has been lights-out this season and has a 2.61 ERA in 31 appearances to go along with an eye-popping 31-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 31 innings pitched.
That is elite production and it likely wouldn't take an elite trade package to bring him to town. The Mets have changed people's minds lately about their chances of making it back to the playoffs and adding Estévez would only help this fact even more.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on basketball and baseball.
