Somehow, the Mets went on a terrific run. Suddenly, they sported a deep lineup. Amazingly, the Mets are a really solid defensive squad. 'OMG' became a Mets anthem. Grimace?!? How did we get here?
Like most teams not in first place in their respective divisions, they need more starting pitching and bullpen reinforcements, but these are obtainable commodities. As the trade deadline approached, there were articles saying that the Mets were going 'all in' on a playoff push.
Happily, David Stearns improved the team with solid, but unspectacular additions that did not mortgage the future of the team. No 'can't miss' prospect was sacrificed to obtain three middle of the road bullpen arms, a left-handed rental bat and a back end of the rotation starting pitcher.
