Reeling Mets find another way to lose in listless defeat to Cubs
When the Mets punted on the rest of this season at the trade deadline, they replenished their long-depleted farm system by picking up a bevy of prospects.

The Mets had runners on the corners with two outs in the eighth inning against reliever Julian Merryweather, but Jeff McNeil grounded out.
