The Mets’ big focus before the July 31 trade deadline has been relief pitching, and all the better if at least one piece is left-handed.

With the trade deadline approaching quickly, it's likely that a few New York Mets prospects will end up in another uniform by the end of next week. Jonah Tong a

The Mets began to address their bullpen needs on Friday by acquiring left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, as first reported by Andy Martino of SNY. The Mets are sending pitching prospects Wellington Aracena (Single A) and Cameron Foster (Double A) to Baltimore in exchange for Soto.

The New York Mets are among "many teams" to call the Chicago White Sox regarding a possible trade for outfielder Luis Robert Jr., per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

The Mets have already made one move to bolster their roster, adding to their bullpen with Gregory Soto. Now it's time for the team to add a center fielder.

The Mets are among the team to have checked in on Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara as a trade possibility, according to Mike Puma. The 29-year-old right-handed pitcher missed all of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and he has a rather unsightly 6.66 ERA with a 4.48 FIP in 104.0 innings with the Marlins so far this year.

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz said he is open to playing in the World Baseball Classic in 2026 despite suffering a major injury in a past tournament.
