Early Morning Madness: I had a better title 4 hours ago edition

The Mets are in trouble, and something needs to be done. They have, in my calculations, two distinct routes they can take: sell or buy. They could start unloading contracts now (Carlos Delgado, Oliver Perez, Moises Alou), get some prospects in return, and start planning for next year and beyond. Or, they could start buying. Pick up expendable players for their own expendables, hoping the new player has something the other player lacked. If the pieces don't fit, try and trade them for pieces that do.
