Mets- Cardinals Trade: Mets Have Completed The Signing Of Cardinals’ Two-Time All-Star In Deadline Heist

July 29, 2025 sportadmin2 Uncategorized 0

Despite having an All-Star closer already, the New York Mets shouldn’t rule out signing another. For the majority of the season, Edwin Díaz has been his best self, giving the Mets a significant advantage in save situations. But since the beginning of the summer, Reed Garrett and Huascar Brazobán have struggled, so he doesn’t currently have a particularly dependable setup man. The Mets will need at least one major bullpen arm before Thursday’s trade deadline if they are to make it back to the World Series for the first time in ten years. Will the St. Louis Cardinals’ Ryan Helsley be that arm?

A free agent at the end of the season, the two-time All-Star was expected to be shipped to the Mets by the deadline, according to Sportsnaut’s Matt Johnson’s prediction on Sunday. “Even after the acquisition of Gregory Soto, the New York Mets’ bullpen will be further addressed at the MLB trade deadline. Although it can get Ryan Helsley, New York probably won’t want to engage in a bidding war for one of the All-Star closers who has a multi-year contract, Johnson wrote. “Over the past four seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals closer has an impressive 2.03 ERA, which includes an 11.8 K/9. He’s a free agent this winter, so the Mets should be able to sign him for a little less money.

Helsley, 30, has a 3.00 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 36 innings, albeit it hasn’t been his best season yet. After a scorching start, the Cardinals fell to 54-53, making it almost a certain that the closer will be traded. The Mets will be in a strong position to contend for their first division title in ten years if they can win the Helsley sweepstakes.
