There’s about another hour to the trade deadline. Don’t forget what Omar Minaya said yesterday after the Luis Castillo trade, that waiver deals would be made in August.
Bad for the Mets is by having the best record in the NL everybody will get a chance to block them.

I can’t believe there not going to get a reliever
Very fustrating deadline in my opinion should have been able to find a reliever, Cordero would have been nice but so would a lesser valued as well. several utility guys available as well.
I think today’s deadline was really about elite players who won’t likely make it through waivers in August. And, to this point, the Mets don’t need an elite reliever like Cordero—they need an eighth-inning set-up man. And that eighth-inning set-up man will likely be available via a waiver-wire deal next month.
It would have been nice to pick up Cordero and have a closer pitching the eighth inning, but the Mets can probably fill that role with someone like Jon Rauch—and without surrendering Pelfrey, Gomez, Milledge, Guerra or Martinez.
