The New York Mets have made their first big trade as we approach the 2025 MLB trade deadline. They have acquired hard-throwing left-handed pitcher Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for minor league pitchers Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster. The Mets finally land their go-to left-hander since the season-ending injuries to both A.J. Minter and Danny Young. However, how did the Mets do overall in this deal?
Soto has pitched 36.1 innings on the year, working to a 3.96 ERA, 3.29 FIP, and 1.29 WHIP. His 27.5% K% is a career-high watermark (aside from his 2020 season).
