Francisco Alvarez was behind the plate and Edwin Diaz was on the mound Sunday in Brooklyn and if the Mets have any chance of making a convincing argument that they shouldn’t sell at the trade deadline, that duo will have to play a significant role in the turnaround in Queens.

The Mets haven’t gotten nearly enough out of either player, with Alvarez out since injuring his thumb on April 19 and Diaz still on the IL with a right shoulder impingement.
