July 30: Mets add depth pieces at Deadline
The Mets swung several more trades on Tuesday, completing what was an active Trade Deadline that saw the club bolster its roster on multiple fronts.

All told, New York acquired starter Paul Blackburn (from the A’s) and left-handed-hitting outfielder Jesse Winker (from the Nationals) in addition to relievers Huascar Brazoban (from the Marlins), Phil Maton (from the Rays), Ryne Stanek (from the Mariners) and Tyler Zuber (from the Rays).

More importantly, though, is the players they kept. After looking like potential Deadline sellers earlier in the season, the Mets got back into the postseason race and gave their front office a reason to hold onto impending free agents Pete Alonso, J.D. Martinez, Luis Severino and José Quintana.
