Currently half a game behind the NL East-leading New York Mets, manager Rob Thomson and his crew are eyeing their fourth consecutive trip to the playoffs, and if the season ended today, they’d Wild Card their way into September and (hopefully for their sake) beyond.

Mets GM Makes Trade Statement After Luis Robert Jr. Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets are in position to make another NLCS run, and possibly even more if things break right. They're currently a half-game out of first place in the NL East and one game behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL's top Wild Card spot.

Reports suggest the Chicago White Sox seek mid-tier prospects in return. The New York Mets, with a depth of pitching prospects, are positioned to potentially make a deal.
