Matt Reynolds is not a household name. He was drafted in the second round of the 2012 draft as a plus defender at third base that the Mets planned to try out at shortstop. He was an afterthought in a year the Mets drafted Gavin Cecchini (who is currently irrelevant in Port St. Lucie) but [...]
With one of the most flurrious and activity-filled trade deadlines, the Mets decided to stand pat with the cards that they had, and there's nothing wrong with that. But of course, just because the July 31st trade deadline has come and gone, there still can be trades made until August 31st when the waiver trade [...]
We have seen some of the best Mets’ performances in July, and this potentially foreshadows what is next to come. Approaching the trade deadline is always exciting, and the Mets did not make any moves. Therefore, the production we saw in July should be matched for the remainder of the season.

Once again, the July 31 deadline came and went. And once again, Sandy Alderson and co. did nothing. There’s no shortage of criticism – justified fans clamoring for proof of progress in dealing prospects for an overpriced bat in a limited market, but the deadline has passed and there’s no time for crying over spilled [...]
