Interesting comment by David Stearns, he doesn't view this era of Mets competitiveness as a "window."

"Our responsibility here is to give ourselves a chance to make the playoffs and ultimately, win a World Series every single year."

Mets acquire Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley Helsley, 30, appeared in 26 games this season while recording a 3.00 ERA and 40 strikeouts.

The addition of Ryan Helsley gives the Mets a hell of a bullpen for a playoff push.

Mets get swept by Padres as front office bolsters team with trade deadline approaching The trade deadline is set for 6 p.m. ET on Thursday.

With all of the bullpen additions at the deadline, there isn't room for Clay Holmes. The Mets still view him and value him as a starter, and Holmes is confident he can impact the team as a starter.

Chris Devenski back with Mets on 1-year contract, hoping to win for his late mother Devenski has done well in the few big league outings they’ve given him, posting a 2.38 ERA.

Tyler Rogers reported to the Mets, Chris Devenski was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Devenski is hoping to play a role for another World Series team, not matter how big or small, to win one more for the person who taught him to pitch: His late mother.

The Mets have remade their bullpen for the second year in a row at the trade deadline, and now they've got the center fielder to provide more run production at that spot with the addition of Cedric Mullins.

Ronny Mauricio breathes new life into the Mets with a game-tying homer off Robert Suarez. This game is drunk (and I wish I was too, they should let us drink in the pressbox for extra innings)

The Giants are having a full ass Hall of Fame induction ceremony for their mascot, Lou Seal. Sergio Romo is giving a speech. Mr. Met, the Phanatic, Lou Seal's parents, SJ Sharkie AND the old Giants mascot, Crazy Crab, are here.

It's hilarious how seriously they're taking this.

David Stearns said the Mets are looking for upgrades in several areas, but the market is still murky. He likes how Carlos Mendoza has handled CF with Tyrone Taylor and Jeff McNeil, doesn’t think the Mets *need* another bat, but if an opportunity presents itself, he might take it.

Mets come up short on David Wright’s big day, lose to the Reds at Citi Field Clay Holmes ran out of gas in the sixth inning once again, the defense defended little and the Mets chased all sorts of pitches in a 5-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

The Mets couldn’t give David Wright the win he deserved on the day the team honored him. While it doesn’t diminish the meaning of the day, it does raise some questions about the Wild Card race.

After David Wright’s career was cut short, the narrative became about what could have been.

Today wasn’t about what was taken from him, it was about what he did as the Mets captain, what he meant to so many, and how he learned to appreciate it all.

Once again, Clay Holmes runs out of gas late in his outing. He hasn't had a quality start since 6/7 in Colorado.

David Wright didn’t confirm or deny they he beat Jose Reyes in post-practice spring training races, but he did say he could beat Daniel Murphy, who is currently standing next to Reyes in the press conference room.

Murphy: β€œWhy am I back here catching strays?”

The Daily News had the inimitable Jay Horwitz write about David Wright from a personal angle, and shows the human he was to so many with the Mets.

Doing things the Wright Way, from his early days in Virginia, to Alcatraz shenanigans with the bullpen catcher to trying to hold the team together while injuries ripped his career apart, why the Mets saw him as a captain and why they still do.

Brandon Nimmo learned from Mets legend David Wright: β€˜I really admired the way that he worked and the way that he led by example’ For Brandon Nimmo, his first homestand in New York was even more surreal than he could have ever imagined, thanks to some thoughtful planning by David Wright and Curtis Granderson.

It’s officially David Wright Day in Queens!

The leadership lessons and life lessons Brandon Nimmo learned from the captain.
