Relief pitching and an outfielder \u2014perhaps Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles \u2014 are also among their needs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O2454GS6BNARHMFG2GKHC36ZBY\">Despite the rotation returning to full health, it\u2019s clear the Mets would only want to add a starting pitcher if it is a top-of-the-rotation one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JQLUUQZWWRCO5PKHDKU5FHLV5M\">Last week, the Mets were linked to Padres starter Dylan Cease. According to Olney, they\u2019re among contending teams that have \u201ctalked about him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"VXT6OA3LWVAXXINIZP55EXS57Q\">The Mets have already begun to address their bullpen needs with the acquisition of left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles last week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YARP77WANJHDTM6XXVSLEEVFZQ\">The Mets\u2019 center fielders, which include Tyrone Taylor and, more recently, Jeff McNeil, collectively have a .221\/.304\/.356 batting line, which is worth an 88 wRC+, 16th in the majors.<\/p>\n<section data-gaid=\":Rdnaq6:\"><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 trade deadline is Thursday, July 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":84629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mets could be \u2018most aggressive\u2019 team for trades.
