The Mets’ recent hot streak came to an end on Sunday with a shutout loss to the Dodgers. However, despite the setback, the team’s season outlook remains brighter than it did just a few weeks ago.
With a 12-9 record, the Mets are now sitting in second place in the NL East, just one game behind the Braves. The team’s offense has been clicking, led by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, and the pitching staff has been solid, with Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer leading the way.
The Mets’ success has led to speculation that the team could make a big move at the trade deadline. The team has been linked to several potential targets, including JT Realmuto and Max Kepler. If the Mets can add another impact player, they could be a serious contender for the World Series this year.
