Josh Hader arrives at Citi Field on Friday not just as the closer for the suddenly red-hot Astros, but also as a reminder of the dangers of the trade deadline.
The Mets, by virtue of their stunning reversal over the past few weeks, have gone from likely deadline sellers to perhaps buyers, just 1 ¹/₂ games out of a wild-card spot.
That leaves new president of baseball operations David Stearns with plenty of important decisions to make — not just for 2024, but for down the road, as well.Francisco Alvarez’s presence in lineup has meant everything to surging MetsThe last time he was in charge of a trade deadline was his final season running the show in Milwaukee in 2022.
The move was not popular with the team, and the Brewers, atop the NL Central at the time, ended up missing the postseason — while Hader helped San Diego get to the NLCS.“That trade was tough for us,” Adrian Houser said of the deadline transaction. “Hader was such a big part of that team and a big part of that clubhouse. Everybody loved him and no one wanted him to go, especially with us in first place. It kind of turned us up a little bit. But that’s the business side of baseball.
