Will the Mets Grab a Bat at Trade Deadline?

 The trading deadline is today around Major League Baseball and the New York Mets have bolstered their bullpen by adding two arms in Trevor Rogers and Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Honestly, these are decent adds but if the Mets are going to make a run at the World Series they are one impact bat away. Especially with Soto potentially injured. As good as he is, the Mets offense seems way too dormant too often this year. 

According to social media, the Mets are closing in on a deal for Cedric Mullins. Despite batting .229 this would be a welcomed addition as he does have 15 homeruns.  

Here is a look at Mets payroll right now. 

The Mets have the second highest payroll in baseball and will have flexibility to add an impact bat in the lineup in the offseason but time is ticking on this season.
