Gregory Soto, known for his blazing fastball and late-inning dominance, now joins a Mets bullpen that has struggled with consistency in recent weeks. This deal signals that New York is not giving up on their postseason hopes and is willing to go big to fix critical weak spots in their roster.
While full trade details are still being revealed, early sources confirm that prospects and potential bullpen depth are heading to Baltimore in return. The Orioles, sitting strong in the AL standings, seem focused on long-term development — possibly offloading Soto to build future assets.
Mets GM said in a brief statement, "We believe Soto brings power, experience, and a new level of competitiveness to our bullpen. He’s the kind of player who changes momentum in big games."
Soto, a two-time All-Star, has posted impressive numbers in recent seasons. His ability to command the mound under pressure could make him a game-changer in high-stakes matchups down the stretch.
This surprise trade could prove pivotal in the Mets' postseason run, while Orioles fans are left wondering what this means for their playoff ambitions.
Stay tuned as more trade fallout and reactions unfold.
