The New York Mets have reportedly decided which areas of need the club will be targeting ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

Amid mounting injuries, Jon Heyman sheds light on what the New York Mets will target at the MLB trade deadline.

The New York Mets relinquished the lead in the National League East division as their losing streak grew to six games, including two series sweeps in a row, on Thursday. Now the team will face the division rival Philadelphia Phillies with one of its biggest strengths becoming a sudden weakness thanks to a surge of brutal pitcher injuries.

Following a 7-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves that left New York with a six-game losing streak, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza pointed to starting pitching as the common problem that has cost the Mets sole possession of the NL East lead.

Spencer Strider struck out eight in six innings and the Braves beat the Mets​ 7-1 on Thursday, extending New York's losing streak to six games.

Injuries and increasing ineffectiveness have the pitching staff in a state of chaos as the Mets head to Philadelphia.
