NY Post:
- Trevor Williams’ big Mets benefit is ‘a curse to him’ "Zack Scott said before the Mets’ 6-2 loss to the Reds at Citi Field. 'He’s going to give you innings — he’s always been an innings-eater type of guy. He’s not afraid, he is going to attack guys and quite honestly he’s got flexibility, he’s got a [minor league] option, which is a benefit to us and a curse to him.'”

Braves lose. Phillies lose. The Mets again cede no ground in defeat. They're two games under .500 over their last 46, which has done nothing to loosen their grip on first place.

Of course, the flip: they've repeatedly been unable to capitalize on chances to increase that lead.

Toronto Blue Jays claimed Lee Mazzilli of the New York Mets on waivers on July 31, 1989.
1989 | On the same day the Blue Jays pick Lee Mazzilli off waivers from the Mets, they trade reliever Jeff Musselman and minor-league pitching prospect Mike Brady in exchange for Mookie Wilson, made expendable when New York obtained Juan Samuel from Philadelphia. After a slow start, Toronto's new outfielder will play a vital role in the team's return to the postseason for the first time since 1985, batting .298 in 54 games. |
1989 | The Mets obtain Frank Viola, last season's American League Cy Young Award winner, from the Twins for Rick Aguilera, Tim Drummond, Kevin Tapani, Jack Savage, and David West. 'Sweet Music' hits a sour note in New York, posting a 38-32 record in 82 starts with a team which fails to make the playoffs during his 2 1/2 year tenure in the Big Apple. |
1995 | The Mets trade former two-time Cy Young Award winner right-handed pitcher Bret Saberhagen and left-handed pitcher farmhand Dave Swanson (the player to be named later) to the Rockies for righties Juan Acevedo and Arnold Gooch. |
2006 | Carlos Beltran hits his third grand slam within a calendar month, becoming the ninth player to accomplish the feat. The New York center fielder's bases-filled homer is the Mets' sixth, tying the 1996 Expos and 1999 Indians for most by a team in a calendar month. |
2016 | Wilmer Flores is honored by the Brooklyn Cyclones with a bobblehead, commemorating his emotional roller coaster at the end of July last season. The 23-year-old Venezuelan infielder, falsely believing the Brewers had traded for him, cried on the field, but three days later, hit a walk-off homer to lift the team in a jubilant victory over the division-leading Nationals, beginning a sweep that will put the Mets in first place for the rest of the season. |

Bringing in two players, Baez and Williams, presumably today. Send Drury down? He is scorching for a non-scorching team. Nimmo need IL? DFA Conforto? Why not. Move on. He is a bum. I heard he is one for his last 34 against lefties. Kind of begs the qution, doesn’t it?
I vote on sending down Banda and leaving Williams in AAA until it is turn to start.
As far as Conforto - send him to AAA as well - unlike McNeil and JD Davis - Conforto IL stint was short in Syracuse. L
