The New York Mets, despite a high payroll and offseason changes, are underperforming with a 40-57 record, placing them last in the National League East. As the MLB trade deadline approaches, they are reportedly open to a fire sale, with only a few players deemed untouchable. Key trade candidates include relief pitchers Brooks Raley, A.J. Minter, and Luke Weaver, while infielder Francisco Lindor’s poor season raises questions about his future. The Mets face a critical decision on whether to retain Lindor or risk a significant rebuild.
