Mets planning for now and later as Gregory Soto trade nets potential postseason weapon
The Mets are playing simultaneous games as the trade deadline approaches, trying to bulk up to make the playoffs/win the division and attempting to improve their World Series odds. The addition of Gregory Soto on Friday threaded that needle in their view — a reliever for now and later. The Mets have nothing assured, but have pretty strong odds on making the postseason for consecutive years for just the third time in their history and – in the best outcome – winning the NL East for the first time since 2015 with one of the two best NL records to gain a first-round bye. They have to go through Philadelphia to win the division and have seven games remaining against the Phillies. For most of this season, they lacked a lefty reliever they would feel comfortable unleashing on Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. But Brooks Raley made his return after Tommy John surgery on July 19 and so far, so good on how he has looked, and they obtained the hard-throwing Soto from the Orioles for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster.

The Yankees and Phillies are both desperate for wins, which should make Saturday's battle between the two historic franchises quite a spectacle. While the Yankees have plenty of work to do to make up ground on the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East, the Phillies are locked in a neck-and-neck tussle with the Mets for supremacy in the NL East.

What our Post expert thinks about Yankees vs. Phillies on Saturday On paper, it's hard to argue against the Phillies having a decided pitching edge Saturday. Ranger Suarez has been terrific for Philadelphia this season, while Marcus Stroman has yet to find any consistency for the Yankees since moving to the Bronx in 2024. Stroman has put together two strong starts in a row coming into Saturday, but it's hard to be confident that he will be able to replicate that output. 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.

Red-hot Drew Gilbert may be outfield help Mets are looking for
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free SAN FRANCISCO — As the Mets monitor the market for potential outfield help, Drew Gilbert's stock is rising as an internal option for a major league role. The 24-year-old Gilbert is surging at Triple-A Syracuse, where he delivered two homers on Friday, giving him six for the month. He owns a 1.126 OPS in July. The Mets view Gilbert as a plus defender in center field — team officials were raving about a catch he made Thursday by racing into the gap — but continued offensive success will be the biggest determining factor in whether he's promoted for the stretch run. 'Drew is doing a tremendous job, and I think to his credit he is probably putting himself on the radar a little bit,' president of baseball operations David Stearns said before the Mets' 8-1 win over the Giants at Oracle Park. 'Offensively and defensively, he's taken a step forward I would say over the last month or two.' A left-handed bat, Gilbert could potentially share center field with Tyrone Taylor, allowing Jeff McNeil to move back to second base full time. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS But that would have ramifications in decreasing the at-bats received by players such as Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuña. 'Offensively, he has put it together,' said a talent evaluator who has watched Gilbert throughout the season. 'He controls the strike zone really well and hits the ball plenty hard. They have got to get him to hit the ball up in the air a little bit more, that's all. He's stronger than he looks.' Drew Gilbert, running a drill during sprint training, hit two home runs for Triple-A Syracuse on July 25, 2025. Corey Sipkin for New York Post Gilbert, who arrived in the 2023 trade that sent Justin Verlander to the Astros, missed much of last season with hamstring injuries. Gilbert has remained healthy this season. He owns an .823 OPS with 14 homers in 314 at-bats overall this season. The Mets optioned reliever Alex Carrillo to Triple-A Syracuse and selected lefty José Castillo to the major league roster.

This series against the Giants is the start of a nine-game stretch for the Mets against NL West opponents. The Mets, who face the Padres next week before returning home to play the Giants, are 13-6 against NL West opponents this season. Much of that success stems from a 6-0 record against the Rockies.
