Mets Seek Offensive Boost, Trade Talks Heat Up

0:00On May 1st, the New York Mets are in a deep slump right now, sitting at 10 wins and 21 losses. That's 11 and a half games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. They've scored the second fewest runs in the league, making every game aggrined. They tried boosting the lineup by bringing in Jorge Palanco, Marcus Semyon, Boba Shit, and Luis Robert Jr. But instead of fireworks, those guys have all dipped in production. Juan Soto's crushing it with a 1.0-1-0 on-base plus lugging, but nobody else cracked 7-17. General manager David Stern's is staying positive, saying he still believes they're a solid squad despite the rough stretch. He admits the bat play cost him big early on, but he's convinced he'll bounce back and prove it soon. Now sources say the Mets are already calling teams for offensive firepower, ready to deal starting pictures, except Nolan McLean, Freddie Peralta, or Clay Holmes. Stern's also back manager Carlos Mendoza, whose job looks safe if he steers them right.
