The New York Mets, currently 26-34, are reportedly contemplating a trade for Rafael Devers to improve their struggling season. Manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the team's lack of performance, expressing urgency for change. Devers, under a $313 million contract, could potentially fill a gap at first base. The Mets, sitting 13.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves, face challenges on offense and have not met expectations this season. A move for Devers could revitalize the team's lineup and dynamics.
