It’s a rare day when I haven’t visited MLB Trade Rumors on more than one occasion. I must be a masochist because my visits there are mostly prompted by interest in what the Mets are doing. And you all know already what the Mets are doing on the trade front: nothing, not even intriguing talk. [...]
The Mets started off things right in the second half, as Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff homer, but the offense struggled after that. The game would end 3-2 in favor of the Cardinals.

In recent memory, there has not been a more thrilling or depressing first half of Mets baseball. If someone were to tell the average Mets fan that the team would go into the break at 47-42, they’d ask where to sign. But the road to get them there was certainly one of the strangest. With [...]
