Mets 'Still Looking For More Players'

Oct 16, 2014 10:54 PM

The New York Mets are still looking to add players prior to the coming season, according to Sandy Alderson.

"We’re still looking for more players," Alderson said Wednesday. "The offseason develops over time in segments, and right now there are still a lot of players out there. The question with teams is: How much money do they have left and what are their needs?

"I like our team for a couple of reasons. The last three years, the strategy I have tried to articulate is threefold: acquire talent and develop talent, create more payroll flexibility -- we had a lot of long-term contracts that were just not performing -- and, third, try to win as many games as you can without compromising one and two."
