Brandon Nimmo, a key player for the New York Mets, is advocating for the team to become buyers before the trade deadline to enhance their chances of contending for the playoffs. Despite a recent 4-4 road trip, Nimmo remains optimistic about the team's potential and believes they are close to being genuine contenders. The Mets, under the ownership of Steve Cohen, are urged to focus on upgrading their bullpen, which has shown weaknesses, particularly with inconsistent performances from key relievers. Nimmo's efforts to push for strategic trades align with the team's improved performance, aiming to capitalize on a recent surge that has brought them closer to a Wild Card spot in the National League.
