The New York Mets were a do-nothing team at the winter meetings, which wasn’t that surprising given the current state of the team and the state of the payroll. There is still a move (or two) to be made, but that will likely be dumping an outfielder to replenish the farm system and perhaps adding a middle reliever of marginal value.
And right now, that’s a problem.
By FanGraphs’ projections, the Nationals have a seven-game edge on the Mets heading into 2017.
