Mets Revamp Bullpen, Add Rogers and Helsley

The New York Mets overhauled their bullpen ahead of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring Tyler Rogers from the Giants and Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals, while also recently adding lefty Gregory Soto. The Mets traded prospects Drew Gilbert, Blade Tidwell, and Jesús Báez but kept their top-tier farm talent, demonstrating a commitment to contending in the NL East. Rogers has a 1.80 ERA in 53 appearances with a submarine delivery, and Helsley, now a two-time All-Star, has 21 saves and a 3.00 ERA despite some fastball vulnerability. These additions give manager Carlos Mendoza multiple high-leverage options alongside closer Edwin Díaz. The Phillies, a division rival, also upgraded their bullpen with Jhoan Durán, highlighting the market's focus on elite relievers. As the deadline nears, the Mets may still seek upgrades in center field or starting pitching.
