Helsley, 31, has been one of the game's best closers since moving into the role for St. Louis in 2022. With a high-octane fastball and untouchable slider, he's posted 103 saves and a 2.03 ERA with 266 strikeouts in 203 2/3 innings during that time.

In need of bullpen help, the Mets acquired Tyler Rogers in a trade with the Giants ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

The New York Mets quickly countered the Philadelphia Phillies' acquisition by grabbing Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, per reports.
