The trade deadline is over and the Mets didn't make a move. But Omar might not be done, there may be possible pickups from waivers or the Mets might just be comfortable that reinforcements are going to be back soon. Beltran, Reyes, Delgado and Putz may be back by mid to late August and if so the Mets could be back in buissness. They could be looking at a serious run at the wild card if back to full health.

Yanks and Arroyo?
The Yankees have been linked to several discussions that there is a bit interest between them. Bronson Arroyo is 10-10 on the season with an ERA of 5.17 and 79 strikeouts.

Wang done for the season
Chien - Ming Wang is going to have shoulder surgery that will end his season this year with the Yankees.

No more Distractions...... Or Not
The Mets Organization fired VP of Player Development Tony Bernazard for allegedly picking fights with minor league players and scuffling with K-Rod on the Team bus.
