Francisco Lindor praises the New York Mets' trade for reliever Gregory Soto, calling it a vital bullpen move ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that the Mets are among the teams that have recently “checked in” on a trade for Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara. While New York wants to add a playoff-caliber starter, it reportedly views an addition as a “tough get” based on the high asking prices sellers have set.
