Alderson said he looked at acquiring reliever to no avail at deadline. Said were offers for Izzy. Didn't rule out some trade before 8/31.
Sandy Alderson, who told ESPNNewYork Adam Rubin, he tried to acquire a reliever before the deadline, but to no avail.

Alderson who also said he wouldn't rule out a trade before the August 31st waiver trade deadline.
Joe Smith (CLE) would have been a nice addition to the Mets bullpen. In 41 innings pitched, Smith has a 1.10 ERA with 30 strikeouts and 14 walks.
