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

The Mets clearly aren’t finished looking for upgrades, with it only a question of how many new players will have been added by the time Thursday’s trade deadline arrives.

Ultimately, the cost of acquiring Alcantara and the risk of him not returning to his elite form could make a deal with the Mets unlikely.
