The New York Mets are on the prowl to add some talent before the trade deadline. The team’s focus has drastically shifted away from adding a bad to instead seeking a starting pitcher. According to the latest Mets trade rumors, the club has already sent scouts to watch Arizona pitcher Merrill Kelly and possibly some other Diamondbacks players.
In his final start of the first half, Kelly had Mets scouts in attendance.
