My comment was part of my usual ball breaking routine.
To be fair, unless he was going to sell off, there was nothing Alderson could've done yesterday.
If he was going to make a move it should've been after the Yankee's and Cub's series, when it was apparent to everyone that the Mets needed bullpen help and a right handed bat.

Agree 100 percent. What could we possibly have added to this team without trading something that is important to the future. Lets call a spade a spade and say that the first half of the season was something we didn't expect and it was great to see them play well, but that has run its course and injuries are starting to play a factor. I'm glad we didn't trade any of our young talent in a last ditch effort to try and make the playoffs, which at this juncture looks very unlikely.
