With just 50 games left in the season, and no hope of fighting for the post season, the most important role for the Mets’ front office is to evaluate what’s left of the roster to see who should and shouldn’t be a part of the 2018 team. Lots of questions need answering. The infield Is [...]
Now this was how they drew it up back in February, but this game still had a touch of the reality of the summer. The Mets rode the power arm of Jacob deGrom and the power bats of Wilmer Flores, Neil Walker, Michael Conforto and Curtis Grasnderson to pound out a convincing win over the [...]
