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

The annual MLB trade deadline not only impacts the final two months of the current season, but it also has a longer-lasting impact in the form of the prospect talent that is sent the other way by contenders.

Soto, 30, originally signed with the Tigers out of the Dominican Republic and pitched in Detroit from 2019 to 2022. He served as the Tigers’ closer for much of his final two seasons and was selected to the All-Star team in both 2021 and 2022.
