The Mets’ trade for Cedric Mullins earlier today was their last before the deadline, according to Mike Puma, leaving the team without an exclamation point at the end of a week that saw them make four trades.
Here’s what the Mets did before the deadline:
- Traded for left-handed relief pitcher Gregory Soto
- Traded for right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Rogers
- Traded for right-handed relief pitcher Ryan Helsley
- Traded for center fielder Cedric Mullins
So the Mets have significantly upgraded their bullpen, and they’ve brought in a center fielder who’s been a much better hitter than Tyrone Taylor this year, even if he’s still been roughly league average with the bat. It’s worth noting that the team
could—and probably should—start calling up some of its best prospects from the upper minors for additional help the rest of the way. But here’s how the Mets’ roster looks at the moment on Roster Resource, with the caveat that fourteen position players are listed. One of Brett Baty or Luisangel Acuña seems most likely to be optioned to Syracuse in the short term to clear a spot.
