METS MAKE 1st TRADE! Pick Up Lefty Flamethrower Gregory Soto

The New York Mets make their first trade deadline move, acquiring left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles. This podcast breaks down Soto's strengths, including his 97 mph sinker and nasty slider, while addressing concerns about his walk rate. The trade package sent to Baltimore features two pitching prospects, with Wellington Aracena being the key piece.

Host Ryan Finkelstein analyzes how Soto fits into the Mets' bullpen alongside Edwin Diaz and Brooks Raley, potentially serving as a lefty specialist in high-leverage situations. The episode explores the Mets' trade strategy, discussing potential targets like David Bednar and the team's ability to make moves without touching their top prospects.
