This time of year, nearly all Major League Baseball discourse revolves around the Trade Deadline. For contenders like the Mets, most of that discussion is about the areas they can improve.

With a 5-3 loss on Sunday evening, the Giants were swept by the New York Mets. They dropped to 54-52 on the season, falling three games back of the final Wild Card spot. They’ve lost seven of their first nine games in the second half, and nine of their last 11 going back to the first half.

Helsley becomes the third reliever, along with right-hander Gregory Soto and Rogers, to be traded to the Mets ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. He is owed the remainder of $8.2 million this season before becoming a free agent.

Our Mets vs. Giants predictions expect big things from Juan Soto & Co. under the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball on July 27, 2025.
