Mets trade deadline

The Atlanta Braves had a quiet trade deadline, acquiring Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson, former members of their 2021 World Series team. Despite the need for more outfielders and pitching, the Braves focus on getting injured players like Max Fried and Ozzie Albies back in time for a postseason push. Meanwhile, the New York Mets bolstered their pitching staff by acquiring Paul Blackburn from the Athletics, as well as several relievers including Huascar Brazoban and Tyler Zuber. Blackburn, recovering from an injury, adds depth to the rotation following Kodai Senga's likely season-ending injury. The Mets also traded for outfielder Jesse Winker and managed to retain key players like Pete Alonso amid a resurgence in their postseason aspirations. Overall, both teams are aiming to enhance their rosters for a competitive finish in the season.
