Part 2/8:
The proposed deal involved the Mets sending Marte while taking on parts of his contract, and in return acquiring Hunter Harvey, an emerging reliever acquired by the Mets at the trade deadline from the Washington Nationals. Harvey’s acquisition could have fortified the Mets' bullpen, a crucial aspect as teams gear up for the next season. The failure of this deal has left some fans feeling disheartened, as they see an opportunity wasted.
