MLB trade deadline: Cardinals reportedly sending closer Ryan Helsley to Mets, as he predicted
The St. Louis Cardinals have reportedly traded closer Ryan Helsley to the New York Mets as the MLB trade deadline approaches. The move strengthens the Mets' bullpen, which now includes star closer Edwin Díaz and reliever Tyler Rogers alongside Helsley. Helsley, who had predicted his potential trade to the Mets, has been a consistent performer for the Cardinals, recording a 3.13 ERA and 17 saves this season. The Mets, currently leading the NL East, are looking to bolster their pitching staff as they push for a playoff berth. The trade is expected to provide the Mets with additional depth and options in the late innings, potentially improving their chances of maintaining their division lead and making a deep postseason run. The details of the trade, including any players or prospects involved, have not been officially announced by the teams.
