What if Mets sell at trade deadline? Should David Stearns be better at evaluating? Mailbag

The New York Mets couldn’t finish off a sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, with Craig Kimbrel giving up the deciding grand slam in the eighth inning. The seeds of that defeat were planted Wednesday night, when, despite an eight-run lead in the middle of the sixth, the Mets had to use their three high-leverage relievers to finish the game. Hence Kimbrel in the eighth of a tie game Thursday and a missed opportunity.Advertisement
