The New York Mets are expected to be in the market for a high-leverage relief pitcher ahead of the August 2 trade deadline.According to a source, one potential trade target the Mets have scouted is veteran relieverDavid Robertson.Depending on the cost,the righty could be a realistic option at the deadline for the Mets, given his expiring contract. The po sible addition Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey of Robertson would be a significant late-inning boost to the team's bullpen, which has posted a solid 3.53 ERA this season as a group (11th- Kyle Allen Jersey best in MLB).MLB insider Mark Feinsand of recently pegged Robertson as a potential fit in Queens, while identifying bullpen as the Mets biggest need.Robertson began his career with the Yankees (2008-2014), in which he helped the Bronx Bombers capture their most recent World Series title in 2009. Coincidentally, Robertson was drafted by the Yankees in 2006 while Eppler was the organization's scouting director. Eppler was GMBrian Cashman's top lieutenant as a sistant GM during Robertson' Reggie Robinson II Jersey s last three seasons in the Bronx as well.The righty signed with the Chicago White Sox in free agency ahead of the 2015 season. He was traded back to the Yankees at the 2017 deadline, before spending the rest of 17 and all of 2018 in New York.Robertson mi sed most of 2019 and all of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season due to Tommy John surgery. He came back to make 12 appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021, and now looks to be rejuvenated with the Chicago Cubs this year.Scroll to ContinueRobertson, 37, is having a bounce-back year for the rebuilding Cubs, where he has posted a 1.89 ERA and 12 saves. The righty has struck out 45 batters in 33 1/3 innings, while producing a 0.960 WHIP.Mets closer Edwin Diazis putting together an elite campaign, where he has struck out 66 Derek Stingley Jr. Jersey batters acro s 33 1/3 innings, while posting a 1.89 ERA and 18 saves in 21 chances. Should the Mets add Robertson, along with the anticipated late-July return of Trevor May, New York Darius Anderson Jersey would have a steadier bridge to Diaz in the ninth inning.Beyond Robertson, the Mets are likely to target relievers on expiring deals ahead of the deadline, which could include the likes of Detroit Tigers lefty Andrew Chafin (player option 2023), considering the need for another southpaw in their bullpen.-- -
