How did Lagares hurt himself?
Nonetheless, why do the Mets have to give away games after tragedies.
They tanked the game the day after Fernandez dies as a courtesy to the Marlins and Baseball. They did the same again yesterday because of the DC tragedy where the Nationals park was used to host a Charity/Memorial softball game.yesterday.
Maybe the Mets need to investigate what they built their ball field on because the filed is like cement causing injuries to players legs..

I hate to give up on the season but depending on how the next 3 games go with the nats, might be the best to sell our free agents and restock high level minor league star players who will be ready to contribute next year. It was unthinkable in spring training but we need 1-2 more quality starters for next year as well

Only problem is that no one the Mets would be making available is going to get back anything significant. Think about it this way- Jay Bruce was leading the NL in RBI last year and had an affordable team option, and all the Reds could get was Dilson Herrera. If a season and a half of Bruce was worth Herrera, what is half a season worth?

Being that Herrera is hitting 242/290/368 right now in AAA- then yes it is worth it. Herrera is looking like a bust.

He meant you’re not gonna get anything valuable in return for a one dimensional player

Clearly the Mets have veterans to trade, such as Bruce/Granderson (who both have contracts that end this year); Cabrera if his thumb heals; and Duda to make room for Rosario and D. Brown respectively.
Cabrera’ s and Duda’s contract also end this year as well.
Will the Mets fair worse with Conforto in right, Rosario at short and Brown at First?
I don’t think so. They just need a centerfielder to play every day that hits right handed.
Second glaring need is a late inning set up man.
That’s about it.

I thought before the season that it was likely that the Mets might have injury woes but who could have predicted this many?

History has a way of repeating itself. This franchise has been operating with a shoestring budget for support staff for the past decade. Do you remember the misdiagnosis of Reyes in his early prime? Rush the player back and not truly support their full recovery has been an MO all along.
Coupled with Mr. Midget Met running the clubhouse by covering his ass with playing ill prepared players and overplaying them has caused their healthy team stats to plummet.
I mean, who in their right mind would want to play for such a disfunctional team. Do you think that they will accept any responsibility for pushing Matt Harvey past his doctors’ limits in 2015? His career has and will never be the same.

A new injury every day, This doesn’t happen to other teams…

Mets could look to at the White Sox as trade partners. Leury Garcia has been a nice surprise for the Sox and is capable of covering CF. He is also versatile enough to move around if needed and fill in other positions too. I don’t see the cost being all that high if they had interest.
Also, the bullpen issue could be fixed here as well. Mets could pick from Robertson, Kahnle, or Swarzak, etc. to help solidify the late innings.
