Gregory Soto trade grades: Mets bolster bullpen with two-time All-Star
In a move that signifies a deeper teardown in Baltimore and a desire in Queens to backfill a roster still fighting for the National League East title, the New York Mets acquired left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Orioles on Friday, July 25 in exchange for two minor league relief pitchers, according to multiple reports. Soto, 30, moves back to the NL East almost exactly a year after the Philadelphia Phillies traded him to Baltimore in a swap among contenders. He's been largely effective and occasionally dominant, striking out 44 in 36 innings and holding left-handed batters to a .138/.271/.276 line. Soto backfills a role in the Mets bullpen missing since top lefty A.J. Minter suffered a season-ending lat injury in May. In exchange, the Orioles receive Class AAA right-hander Cameron Foster and Class A righty Wellington Aracena. A breakdown of the deal: Gregory Soto trade grades Not a bad pickup given the Mets' relatively urgent need for a lefty amid a market that will only tighten leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. Soto is a veteran situational guy who was recently tabbed to fill in closer duties after Orioles fireballer Felix Bautista went on the injured list; Soto saved Thursday's game at Cleveland in his last appearance for Baltimore. Yet in this three-batter minimum era, Soto may be exposed against the deep lineups among NL contenders. Opposing right-handers are getting on base at a .371 clip against him, with a .726 OPS, although he's yet to yield a homer to a right-handed batter. He pitches largely off a 96 mph fastball and excels at eliciting weak contact, with an elite 4.3% barrel percentage. It's a totally OK pickup. The distress sale continues at Camden Yards, as Soto joins righty Bryan Baker (traded to Tampa Bay) in a parade of exiting players likely to include All-Star slugger Ryan O'Hearn and right-handed starters Charlie Morton and Zach Eflin. In Foster, 26, they get a right-hander who likely will join Baltimore's bullpen almost immediately, as he pitched to a 0.83 WHIP at Class AA and recently earned a promotion to AAA. He's struck out 9.4 batters per nine innings since getting selected in the 2022 14th round out of McNeese State. Aracena, 20, is a bit more of a lottery ticket, having spent the entire season at the Mets' Florida complex league affiliate in Port St. Lucie. He's shown well, however, striking out 84 in 64 innings (nine starts and eight relief appearances) on the strength of fastball that's touched 99 mph. He should land on an Orioles full-season affiliate club. Neither pitcher was ranked among the Mets' top 30 prospects by Baseball America. Gregory Soto trade details New York Mets receive Baltimore Orioles receive Gregory Soto contract Gregory Soto is making $5.35 million this season and is eligible for free agency at year's end.

Pacers watched Victor Oladipo in Las Vegas, but don't seem involved in former star's comeback
Former Pacers All-Star and IU All-American Victor Oladipo is attempting a comeback after spending the past two years out of the league. Oladipo held workouts in Las Vegas during NBA Summer League and Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan acknowledged the Pacers had scouts there. However Buchanan did not indicate the Pacers would be in particularly hot pursuit of Oladipo's services. "As a scouting staff it's our job to keep tabs on every potential player walking the planet that could potentially help us," Buchanan told Alex Golden on "Setting the Pace" podcast this week. "We, like other teams, out in Vegas probably saw Victor. We weren't the only team out there to evaluate him to see where he's at. "Obviously, we have a history with Victor. We're always going to be looking for, if it's the right player at the right time that fits us, we're going to have to consider it whether it's Victor or not. Many teams watched along with us. We get tied to him because he's a former player of ours. I don't think we're any different than any other team that watched him out there." LISTEN TO THE FULL PODCAST BELOW:

Barcelona out-of-favour forward attracted by proposal from Portuguese outfit
Pau Victor is expected to leave FC Barcelona in the coming days, with there being no place for him in Hansi Flick's plans, especially following the arrival of Marcus Rashford. The 23-year-old forward joined the Catalans permanently last summer and made a big impression in pre-season, but found minutes hard to come by during the campaign. Now, with Rashford also added to the squad, he drops another peg lower on the pecking order and is expected to move on soon. SC Braga appeals to Pau Victor Now, according to Jijantes FC, SC Braga are interested in signing Pau Victor from Barcelona this summer, and the forward looks at the proposal from the Portuguese club favourably. This comes on the back of reports that the Spaniard will not be travelling with the Barça squad to Asia for the pre-season tour. What does the future hold for Pau Victor? (Photo by) Indeed, the Blaugrana plan to leave Victor and Oriol Romeu behind in Barcelona to help them resolve their futures at the earliest possible. And, Victor seems to be leaning towards the proposal that he has from SC Braga at the moment. Valencia, for one, have also shown an interest in the attacker but would only consider a loan move for him. However, Barcelona are seeking a permanent transfer. and are reportedly seeking a fee of around €10 million, which would potentially rule Los Che out of contention for Victor's signing. Only time will tell where the former Girona talent ends up in the coming weeks as the player and Barcelona search for a way out.
