Soto officially joins the Mets’ bullpen after forging a 3.96 ERA and 45/16 K/BB ratio over his 36 1/3 innings with Baltimore. He’ll be a high-leverage option, but not one who is going to get many — if any — save chances for the Mets.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Cameron Foster and Wellington Arecena will be headed to the Orioles in return, and the deal is pending a physical. One day after Soto gets his first save for the Orioles, Soto is heading to the Mets, where he isn’t likely to get many chances to procure more of them. The left-hander will be a high-leverage option in New York, however, and he’s forged a 3.96 ERA over 36 1/3 innings with a 45/16 K/BB ratio. It’s a big upgrade for the Mets’ bullpen, but not a move that provides much fantasy relevancy.
