There is good reason for the New York Mets to lose. Is there good evidence the Mets are trying to lose? With a top draft pick hovering over a lost season, we take a look at the post-deadline Mets. Is this tank job overt, accidental or nonexistent?

The Mets have missed reliever Colin Holderman, who they traded to the Pirates for Daniel Vogelbach.
