Former Phillie Gregory Soto is back in the National League East. According to multiple reports, Soto is being traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the New York Mets. SNY’s Andy Martino was first to report the trade.
The left-handed Soto was acquired by the Phillies via trade with the Detroit Tigers ahead of the 2023 season. At the time, Soto was coming off back-to-back All-Star campaigns with Detroit. In parts of two seasons with the Phillies, Soto never quite found a strong footing. He appeared in 112 games while in Philadelphia, posting a 4.42 ERA.
Soto was traded to the Orioles ahead of last year’s trade deadline.
