Mets, Giants, Yankees Make Major Trade Deadline Deals

At the MLB trade deadline, the New York Mets acquired reliever Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for pitchers José Buttó, Blade Tidwell, and outfield prospect Drew Gilbert. Rogers, who has a 1.80 ERA this season, is expected to bolster the Mets' bullpen for their NL East title pursuit. The Giants also traded All-Star closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees, receiving several top prospects in that deal, indicating a shift toward rebuilding. In a separate transaction, Tyler Rogers's twin brother, Taylor, was traded from the Reds to the Pirates. Other notable deadline moves included the Padres sending Brandon Lockridge to the Brewers for pitcher Nestor Cortes. These trades reflect playoff contenders' aggressive moves and rebuilding teams' focus on acquiring young talent.
