The trade deadline in MLB is rapidly approaching and several teams are expected to add players at positions of need as they approach playoff pushes, including the New York Mets.

The Mets already traded for Gregory Soto to add a bullpen arm, but what starting pitcher could they add before the trade deadline?

New York Mets President David Stearns had one clear goal before Thursday’s MLB trade deadline: Round out a World Series-contending roster. Heading into July 31, New York had one of the best rosters in the National League, but certainly needed upgrades in certain areas if they really wanted to contend with the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
