The Mets faced the Dodgers in a thrilling extra-inning game that concluded with a 6-5 win for Los Angeles in the bottom of the 10th. After Freddie Freeman’s hit appeared to be a potential walk-off homer, Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo misjudged the ball, allowing the ghost-runner Tommy Edman to score. Despite the loss, both teams have showcased intense competition, reminiscent of postseason play, with their series set to continue for a fourth game.
The Mets are open to trading from their major league infield, focusing on younger players like Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, and Luisangel Acuña, while keeping stars Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso. Baty has struggled this season but shows potential, while Vientos, Mauricio, and Acuña have also faced challenges, making them less valuable in trades for the bullpen upgrades the Mets seek.
