Will Leitch of MLB.com listed six winners of the trade deadline, and the Mets were among them. "The Mets, for all their talent and all that payroll, had clear holes: The bullpen, center field, the back of the rotation. They didn’t help out the rotation much, but they took care of the other two quite nicely," Leitch wrote.

With a revamped roster, the Mets are +850 to win the World Series, per DraftKings Sportsbook, only behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (+285), the Philadelphia Phillies (+800) and the Detroit Tigers (+800). With the trade deadline moves, New York now has a payroll of $339.8 million, per Spotrac.

TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.
