As the club has struggled to find any sort of consistency this season, they currently find themselves sitting 9 games below the .500 mark and 12 games back in the mediocre NL East.
New York already seems to be looking towards next season. Per, ESPN’s Buster Olney, the team looks to be serious sellers before the July 31st deadline, labeling them as “open for business”.
Sources: Mets open for business now, willing to listen to offers for Granderson, Addison Reed, Bruce, Cabrera, etc. Far behind in races.

Although I’m not opposed to it, I find it quite surprising that Alderson has his ears open this early on.
