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.

With several teams on the bubble as buyers/sellers, Mets officials view this weekend as a decision point for many. Team brass plans to ramp up the process beginning Sunday night, when more specific trade targets and scenarios will start being discussed among club officials.
