Mets GM Sandy Alderson said he considered the possibly of acquiring another relief pitcher before Friday’s non waiver trade deadline although it never transpired.
However despite the acquisition of setup reliever Tyler Clippard from the A’s, it’s very possible that the Mets could still swing a deal for a reliever via a waiver trade during August.
Losing Jenry Mejia to a second PED suspension, coupled with the recent struggles from Bobby Parnell and Jeurys Familia, gave Sandy Alderson pause to reconsider his previous position that he would not pursue another reliever after acquiring Clippard.
