First, the Mets obtained Rogers from the fading Giants for pitchers José Buttó and Blade Tidwell, along with minor league outfield prospect Drew Gilbert. Tidwell was at Triple-A Syracuse after making two starts and two relief appearances for New York this season.

The Mets acquired two relievers for the late innings and didn't give up any of their elite prospects in the process.

Ryan Helsley picked up three strikeouts in his Mets debut, proving the firepower the front office added at the deadline, even in a 4-3 loss on Friday.
