The New York Mets beat the trade deadline buzzer to acquire three veterans in two trades. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets traded top pitching prospect Kevin Smith and a player to be named later to the Baltimore Orioles for Miguel Castro.

This is a questionable move. Kevin Smith is one of the Mets’ best pitching prospects and could have made his debut as soon as 2020.
