With the New York Mets still struggling to get much of anything going this season, it's getting to the point where the Mets should seriously consider selling this season by the August 3 trade deadline.
But that doesn't mean the Mets can't add to their roster in hopes of finding pieces for the future. If they sell, there will be open roster spots, and using those on intriguing players who might not otherwise have an MLB roster spot would be a smart move.
That's one reason for their most recent addition. As Will Sammon of The Athletic reports, the Mets are signing former Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays standout slugger Christopher Morel to a new contract.
"The Mets and Christopher Morel are in agreement on a minor-league deal, league sources tell The Athletic," Sammon reports. "The deal contains multiple opt-outs for Morel, who will report to Triple-A Syracuse."
