After selling off last season, this year's Mets have put themselves in a position to add some more intriguing pieces with a 56-50 record and currently holding a National League wild card spot.
"I think for the most part I think everyone's really excited because we're playing winning baseball," Pete Alonso said. "We've put ourselves in a really good position. In order to feel comfortable at the deadline, you got to be in a winning position. We've earned that. We've put ourselves in that position and we've done a great job bouncing back."

San Francisco traded outfielder Jorge Soler – who the team signed this winter – to Atlanta, but aren't expected to trade other their other big offseason acquisitions, namely reigning Cy Young winner Blake Snell.
The Giants are 53-55 and four games back in the NL wild-card race.
After early-season struggles, Snell has been dominant in July with a 0.75 ERA (2 ER) and 30 strikeouts in 24 innings across four starts.
