The New York Mets trade deadline acquisitions, Cedric Mullins and Ryan Helsley, failed to meet expectations, leading to disappointment. Mullins, a center fielder, struggled offensively and preferred to stay in center, causing defensive alignment issues. Helsley, a setup man, had a high ERA and seemed affected by the role change. The Mets traded away prospects for these players, but now have other options for center field and will focus on rebuilding their bullpen, starting with re-signing Edwin Diaz.
