The New York Mets bolstered their bullpen before the trade deadline, acquiring relievers Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals and Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants. Helsley, a high-whiff reliever, is a rental, while Rogers adds depth. In return, the Mets traded several prospects, including infielder Jesus Baez (to St. Louis) and outfielders Drew Gilbert and Blade Tidwell (to San Francisco), along with other pitching prospects. The deals showcase the Mets' willingness to use mid-tier prospects to upgrade their relief pitching.
