The Mets' recent struggles on the mound and at key lineup spots highlight their need for a power bat like Mike Trout, with trade speculation heating up ahead of the deadline.

The New York Mets are under pressure to make big moves at the MLB trade deadline, and multiple teams could give them the boost they need.

The last time the Cincinnati Reds won a playoff series, Barry Larkin and Bret Boone were the middle infielders, and Jeff Brantley was closing games.

The Mets' return from the All-Star break provided plenty of hoopla, but the three-game set against the Reds at Citi Field was not as celebratory.

MLB insider Jim Bowden has revealed a list of relief pitchers that the Mets are scouting prior to the July 31st trade deadline.

The Cincinnati Reds lost in the finale but became just the fourth team to beat the New York Mets in a series at Citi Field this year.

Juan Soto dashed home with the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, beating a throw to the plate on Luis Torrens’ sharp grounder to second base, and the New York Mets avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

CINCINNATI — Taking two out of three games from the New York Mets is good. However, Sunday’s 3-2 loss for the Reds is a missed opportunity to earn a huge sweep of a good Mets team and further dent into the National League Wild Card race.
