What happened: MLB Network analyst Joel Sherman evaluated the New York Mets' position ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Sherman noted the organization has "a lot to trade" as the deadline approaches.
Why it matters: With a 37-53 record, the Mets have established themselves as sellers. Opposing front offices are monitoring the roster to bolster their own playoff pushes.
By the numbers: New York sits at 37-53 on the season after dropping five of its last six matchups. The club averages 4.1 runs scored per game while surrendering 4.8.
What to watch: Expect ongoing evaluations from rival clubs as the trade market accelerates over the next two weeks.
