Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns on Monday said the team will be "active" in the trade market to upgrade the club's bullpen and hinted that adding elsewhere is unlikely.

New York is bound to make a move or two before the deadline. However, expecting Stearns to pony up real capital for the market's top options like Jhoan Durán, Emmanuel Clase, and Ryan Helsley is ambitious. Stearns has a type: cheap and controllable, with quality stuff. Several available names fit that list.
