Meet the Mets
In their final game before the process of being picked apart by the actual competitive baseball teams, the Mets said goodbye to their rentals the same way they said hello, with failure.

During yesterday’s loss, the Mets traded Freddy Peralta to the Tampa Bay Rays for a trio of prospects, analyzed by Lukas Vlahos.
Early this morning, the Mets sent Huascar Brazobán to the White Sox for a pair
of minor league pitchers.
The only thing that’s for sure is that nothing is for sure, but it’s virtually a guarantee that Peralta, Brazobán and Minter won’t be the only Mets not making the next roadtrip with the team.
Before making the longest appearance of his career to start the game, the Mets promoted Robert Stock along with Bryce Conley while designating Kevin Herget and MJ Melendez for assignment.
After the move became official, Melendez took to X, The Everything App to say what is perhaps a final goodbye to Mets fans.
For now, the most recent move the Mets have made is claiming catcher Shawn Ross off waivers from the Pirates and designating Joey Gerber for assignment to make room.
Clay Holmes made his first rehab start for Brooklyn and pitched 5.1 healthy innings in his last activity before today’s deadline.
Leading up to today’s trading deadline, the Padres have reportedly checked in on Kodai Senga.
Around the National League East
The longest tenured National is no more as Washington sent the NL leader in slugging percentage, Luis Garcia Jr., to the Yankees for a trio of right handed pitching prospects and reliever Jake Bird.
In the final game of the Garcia era, the Braves and a hot Matt Olson came out ahead with a 4-2 victory over the Nationals in Atlanta.
In a rain-shortened affair, the Phillies finished their time in Baltimore with an 8-0 win over Kyle Bradish and the Orioles.
Tyler Mahle is the newest Atlanta Brave, coming over from the San Francisco Giants in a one-for-one swap in exchange for Anthony Molina.
Around Major League Baseball
Before making his way to Los Angeles in time for the end of Sunday Night Baseball, Tarik Skubal said goodbye to the only team and only city he’s known as a professional.
If you can pause your anger for a moment, there is a story to be told about how the Dodgers acquired Tarik Skubal without trading a consensus number one prospect.
You might believe that the Dodgers are ruining baseball, but the Dodgers have a different view of things on that front.
On the field, this wasn’t a good weekend for the Dodgers as the Red Sox did what they’ve been doing for over a decade and stomped Los Angeles in their home.
Even though Tarik Skubal is out the door, the Tigers aren’t planning a big fire sale today.
Kevin Gausman’s five years in Toronto have come to an end, for now, as he was dealt to the Chicago Cubs for a pair of prospects.
A two-time representative of Team Canada, Jameson Taillon is now the real deal as the Cubs traded him to the Blue Jays for cash or future considerations.
According to Bob Nightengale, the Padres reportedly turned down an offer from the Yankees that revolved around starter Will Warren in exchange for reliever Adrian Morejon.
The only thing that can put an immediate stop to a heated argument between a manager and an umpire is ‘God Bless America.’
Old friend and even older enemy Craig Kimbrel was designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays.
This Date in Mets History
Happy birthday to Mets legends Jonathan Arauz, Luis Robert Jr., Travis Blankenhorn, and Kevin Elster.
