This strategic move addresses a major weakness, transforming the Mets' bullpen into a formidable force for a deep postseason run, complementing their already strong offensive lineup, and positioning them as serious World Series contenders.

| 0:33.4 | After the addition of Soto, I wasn't sure if they'd get multiple. |
| 0:34.5 | I wanted more. |
| 0:36.0 | That would be my top priority. |
| 1:11.4 | They did that yesterday getting Tyler Rogers and Ryan Heldsley, to me, giving up nothing to do so. That's a cooking right now, man. And I don't think that they're done. I'm basically convinced you guys are getting a centerfielder. I would be stunned if you don't. I think something else is coming. Now, listen, the situation with Holmes, you know, does you go to the bullpen? They're not hitting right now. There are some MET issues that, but that again, a lot of teams have issues right now because nobody's a perfect team. Massive move by the Mets. And what I like about this, now, they're very righty-laden, okay? With the, what are you talking about with the pen? Yeah, with the bullpen. |
| 1:25.3 | Outside of Soto, and I know Raleigh coming back, I get that, but you look at the, at the, I, I, do you consider Raleigh a high-leverage guy? I do. Okay, okay, so you do. And, by the way, even if you're not considering him on the level of Diaz, Rogers, or Hellsley, which I don't think that they are. |
| 1:26.2 | Okay, fair enough. |
| 1:26.9 | But you have Soto and Raleigh as your top two. |
| 1:29.6 | No question. |
| 1:30.3 | Dude, they got five. |
| 1:31.3 | And that point... of Diaz, Rogers, or Hellsley. Which I don't think that they are. Okay, fair enough, but you have Soto and Raleigh as your top two left. |
| 1:29.6 | No question. |
| 1:30.3 | Dude, they got five. And that pushes down Stannick and Garrett. That's seven arms in the pen. It went from a massive weakness to what I think is going to be a massive plus. No, I mean, what Sturton did yesterday was phenomenal. I'm not here to say that it wasn't. |
| 1:42.4 | What I was going to say, though, why, even though they do have the two lefties, and we know that, but even their righties are very different. Like you've got one guy coming now, basically scraping his knuckles on the mound, and then you got the other guy, Helsley coming in, throwing 99.7 on the average. Now, his fastball actually, I didn't realize this. He throws, we know he |
| 2:02.4 | throws gas. They've hit his fastball this year. His best pitch is a slider and I guess opponents |
| 2:07.5 | hit in like 070 against a slider. But I point that out because you've got so many different variations |
| 2:13.3 | now Soto coming out throwing cheese as a letty, sometimes a little while, but throwing |
