Regarding potential starting pitching additions before the deadline, David Stearns said the Mets would be looking for ceiling in that area -- something that isn't easy to find. But "if those guys are available," Stearns added, "we'll be involved."

In addition to trading for Gregory Soto today, the Mets called up José Castillo. They suddenly have three lefties in their bullpen.
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies, per source. Colorado will receive two prospects in return.
The Mets are getting Gregory Soto: mlb.com/news/gregory-s…
This move -- getting another legit left-hander for the bullpen -- was the must-make trade for the Mets this deadline. They've gotten it out of the way early.
The Mets are acquiring reliever Gregory Soto from the Orioles, per source. @martinonyc was on it.
Pete Alonso reached the 80-RBI mark today and is on pace for 121. (His own franchise record is 131, set in 2022.) Alonso is the only Mets player to have multiple seasons with at least 80 RBI through 103 team games.
It was, finally, a big day for the Mets' big hitters: mlb.com/news/francisco…
FINAL: Mets 6, Angels 3 WP: Sean Manaea LP: Jake Eder SV: Edwin Díaz 📰 Francisco Lindor snapped his career-worst hitless streak, and Pete Alonso hit a big three-run homer in a sweep of the Angels. 📊 Record: 59-44 📈 Streak: W4 🏃♂️ Pace: 93-69 Next: Friday @ SF, 10:15 p.m. ET
Total paid attendance for this six-game homestand at Citi Field: 254,064. The Mets had four sellouts and cleared 41,000 fans in all six games. It's been a long time since they've enjoyed a midseason homestand like that.
Could the Mets' big bats be getting hot? Moments after Francisco Lindor snaps an 0-for-31 skid, Pete Alonso breaks out of a 2-for-34 slump with a three-run homer. It's career home run No. 248 for Alonso, who is now four shy of Darryl Strawberry's franchise record.
Francisco Lindor's career-worst hitless streak is over. He snapped his 0-for-31 with an RBI single to left, drawing a standing ovation from the Citi Field crowd. Lindor's hitless streak was tied for sixth-longest in Mets history.
The Mets are planning to activate José Buttó (illness) before today's game, I'm told. Butto, who holds a 2.47 ERA, hasn't pitched since June 28.
Mets Game 103 of 162, vs. LAA Wednesday, July 23, 1:10 p.m. LHP Brock Burke (4-1, 3.38) Nimmo LF Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Marte DH Baty 2B Vientos 3B Torrens C Taylor CF - Manaea LHP (0-1, 2.45)
The Mets are getting contributions from their young players again. Which is pretty important, considering the're going to keep rolling with these guys: mlb.com/mets/news/fran…
FINAL: Mets 3, Angels 2 WP: Frankie Montas LP: Kyle Hendricks SV: Ryne Stanek 📰 Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty came through once more for the Mets, who are finding ways to win games again. 📊 Record: 58-44 📈 Streak: W3 🏃♂️ Pace: 92-70 Next: Wed. vs. LAA, 1:10 p.m. ET
Juan Soto's 13th stolen base sets a career high, with 60-plus games remaining in the regular season. Soto is on pace for 21 steals.
Francisco Alvarez, for the second straight night. It's a game-tying, two-run homer in the fifth. A changed man:
Francisco Lindor's hitless streak has reached 0-for-28, the longest of his career. Rey Ordóñez owns the Mets' franchise record with an 0-for-37 skid in 1997.
