I really hope The Flying Squirrel can turn his season around. The Mets can certainly use him. McNeil's decline from his batting title winning season of 2022 has been a mystery. He showed some life last night, hitting two homers, but that's only one game. We've seen him follow up a good game like that with 0-fers in the next two. His contract has two more years left, so it's safe to say he's not going anywhere at the trade deadline.

McNeil doing well would be appreciated both generally and since it's fun to root for the guy.
They still need another bat off the bench. DJ Stewart is not it. Ultimately a bat and relief pitcher are what they should be aiming for.
