The Mets added Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, and Tyler Rogers from the Giants, creating a potentially devastating bridge to star closer Edwin Diaz.

In the midst of a 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Giants traded Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets, a team that just swept them this past weekend. Rogers, San Francisco’s longtime setup man who pitches more than any other reliever, now wears a different shade of orange.

The manner of Tuesday night's loss represented a breaking point for Buster Posey and the front office heading into Wednesday.
