Mejia getting sent down to have more value for a trade chip

24

Well we thought it made sense to send Mejia down to the minors, but for the wrong reasons. Met fans wanted him to work on his secondary pitches and come back up as a starter. The real reason he is being streteched out is to increase his trade value. Per Eddie Coleman he believes Mejia will be part of a trade and a "major" trade at that. Noting Lee is the main target. Mets Brass wants to push this team this yr for a playoff spot and would part with Mejia for a rental Per Coleman
