There are worlds in which this miserable Mets season — punctuated Friday morning by the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza — completes its journey into the drain, and the front office responds with a trade-deadline fire sale that clears some money, some talent and some big-league roster spots. There are other worlds in which the Mets, who have ledger of issues the length of a CVS receipt but whose largest problem is the rotation, further tap into their minor league system to find starting pitchers as a last-ditch effort to keep the season alive — which they’re doing, to a degree, by summoning Zach Thornton to take the ball Friday. In both of those worlds, Jonathan Santucci would be increasingly relevant.
