Mets’ Stearns: Not Ready to Sell at Deadline

The New York Mets, despite having the most expensive roster and sitting last in the NL East at 23-33, are not rushing to make trade decisions ahead of the August 3 deadline, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. The team, plagued by injuries to key players like Francisco Lindor, has struggled with inconsistent performances and a significant losing streak. While ace Freddy Peralta could be a valuable trade asset, Stearns remains optimistic about the team’s potential to improve. He believes it is still too early for substantial trade discussions, emphasizing that major moves typically occur closer to the All-Star break.
