It seems that the New York Mets, who recorded the best team payroll in major league history, eventually gave up advancing to the postseason. Traded David Robertson (38).
US Fox Sports reported on the 28th (Korean time) that the New York Mets are sending closer Robertson to the same district as the Miami Marlins. The price is two rookie league minor league players.

The gap with the Atlanta Braves, the leader in the district, reaches 17 games, and the gap with the Cincinnati Reds, the third place in the wild card, is 7 games. It’s a record worth giving up on in the postseason.
On the other hand, Miami, which recruited Robertson, recorded a 55-48 win rate of 0.534 through the 28th, trailing Cincinnati by half a game.

Also, the team payroll for this season is 340 million dollars. the largest ever. Accordingly, there were many prospects that the New York Mets would never choose Seller.
