Having moved into first place in the National League East, the New York Mets aren't necessarily looking to make a huge splash before the trade deadline.

The New York Mets need to add pitching ahead of the trade deadline, but there's a chance they also pursue Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan.

And yet they sit just half a game out of first place in the NL East and hold the second wild-card spot, behind only the Cubs (-554 to make the playoffs, per Caesars). A plethora of pitcher injuries have left the Mets short on arms at times.
