00:00On a wild and crazy deadline day, the Mets did one thing that I think we could have predicted,

00:04which was add a center fielder to their mix. They tried for Luis Robert Jr. He might have

01:15when this deadline started.

01:21that I think they were looking forward to watching this video. But if you were

01:27talking about that, how many aconteceu stories you could hear about us, he saw a great
