The New York Mets traded reliever David Robertson Thursday, likely signaling that the organization will be a seller at MLB's trade deadline.
"We’re just listening, and I think we can gauge signals from other clubs. And if the signals are strong enough, we have to look for opportunities," Mets general manager Billy Eppler said when asked if the club was open to anything before the deadline.
When asked whether the Robertson move signaled that the club was"open for business," Eppler said the team is"listening to where clubs are when they call us."
