00:00Huge day for the Mets. They reel in Ryan Helsley after earlier adding Tyler Rogers.

00:05Two great right-handed relievers really beefs up that back end of that bullpen. You've got Edwin

00:10Diaz as the closer. Helsley has been a terrific closer for the Cardinals. I think this was a great

00:16move for them. I mean, now you've got Reed Garrett. You've got Stanek. They don't have to be in the

00:21eighth inning anymore. They can be in the sixth, seventh. It really works out fantastically. I

00:27think they have one of the best bullpens in baseball now. The Mets, you know, you're going

00:31to pay a price if you get one of these closers, even in rentals. And then both of them were rentals.

00:36The Mets gave up three guys at the Brooklyn Cycles. Jesus Baez is shortstop with power. So that's the

00:43best one that they gave up. He's a top 10 prospect for them. Nate Dome, a right-hander also with

00:49Brooklyn. He's got a good fastball, decent control. And also Frank Ellisalt, who isn't ranked in the

00:57top 30, but was having a very good year. Again, the Mets get Ryan Helsley, a big coup for them.

01:03Not having his best year, but one of the better closers in baseball now gets to be the setup man

01:09for arguably the best closer in the game, Edwin Diaz.
