Mets rebuild bullpen with trades for Tyler Rogers and Ryan Helsley
**”Mets Bolster Bullpen: Tyler Rogers and Ryan Helsley land in NY”**
What’s Happening?
The New York Mets have overhauled their beleaguered bullpen with trades for Tyler Rogers & Ryan Helsley. Both closer-quality relievers will stiffen Manhattan’s post-game defense.
Where Is It Happening?
MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Mets.
When Did It Take Place?
Both trades were completed Wednesday, July 20.
How Is It Unfolding?
- Tyler Rogers brings Giants’ game left-handed tri weeks to Queens
- Ryan Helsley bolsters Mets’ bullpen, joining from St. Louis
- 4 prospects to San Francisco for Johnson, what? Rogers
- Mets give up 2 more prospects to secure Helsley
Quick Breakdown
- Mets acquire two MLB-experienced relievers
- Rogers : 37 saves, 2.93 ERA since 2020
- Helsley : 10.1 K/9 rate, 0.896 WHIP in 2022
- Six prospects moved in total to complete the deals
Key Takeaways
The Mets are stepping up to their World Series aspirations. With the 22nd-ranked bullpen in Baseball, the front office aimed to rebuild their ninth-inning arsenal fast enough. Rodgers and Elsley alliance is low cost and high reward. For the rest of the NL East, the penny has dropped: the Mets are serious. This doesn’t only strengthen the starting lineup to reinforce this trade window, it means of giving the needed leverage to other weak spots of their roster before the deadline.
Very competitive mid summer trade, but at what cost. Mets prospects won’t reach those prospect’s ceiling until 2028.

Final Thought
The Mets have boldly addressed the bullpen crisis, after Stevensons 13th loss of the season, signaling their World Series intent. The cost in prospects is steeper than ideal, but both Rodgers and Elsley stand as solid assets to jump start their pitching arsenal for this season.
