Is it possible for the Mets to go on a run when almost halfway through the season their bench has been a source of subpar play and performances that would cast doubt on any chance at a division title?

If the Mets are going to make some moves before the trade deadline, they can start by adding some punch to a punchless bench. It’s no small wonder why Mets managers have been reluctant to give David Wright a day off this season. Look at your options…
