Gregory Soto is just the latest domino for an Orioles team expected to keep selling at the trade deadline. Here are five takeaways from the deal.

The Mets have acquired Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Gregory Soto in exchange for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster on Friday afternoon.

With a handful of days remaining before the July 31 trade deadline, the Mets should further improve their bullpen by adding someone to complement All-Star closer Edwin Díaz. That means trading for someone adept at closing when Díaz is unavailable, or for when situations dictate that Díaz appears earlier in a game than the ninth inning.
