Being complacent isn’t going to make that happen. The Mets have to get over the thought of losing out on potential and missing out on a guarantee, if it requires them to trade away prospects. If they can get a solid player without giving up too much, then go for it. But contenders do whatever it takes to win.

The New York Mets made a trade before the upcoming deadline, acquiring relief pitcher Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles. Any relation to Juan?

Soto is on a one-year, $5.35 million contract. The Mets gave up right-handed pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster. As one would expect, Mets fans had plenty to say on social media following the Soto trade.
