Thursday’s 6 p.m., ET deadline looming large. With that said, here’s what the Mets could be looking at this week.

The New York Mets made their first move as buyers a week ahead of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring Gregory Soto to bolster the bullpen. While trading for more pitchers is very much on the table, New York is reportedly keeping its eye on two American League outfielders to address a long-standing weakness.

The Mets have acquired Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Gregory Soto in exchange for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster on Friday afternoon.
