The deal, which was originally agreed to last week, is now official. Soto figures to operate in a setup capacity ahead of incumbent closer Dennis Santana for the Pirates after registering a respectable 4.18 ERA — 3.42 FIP — 1.43 WHIP and 70/24 K/BB ratio across 60 1/3 innings between the Orioles and Mets this past season.

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.

Soto got the first save chance after Félix Bautista (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. He handled it well, but it’s worth noting he faced the bottom of the order, and also two of the three hitters he faced hit from the left side, so this could have been more based on matchups than a guarantee he’ll get the ninth inning with Bautista unavailable. Still, Soto does have closing experience, and those desperate saves may want to take a look.
