The Giants have struggled since trading for Rafael Devers in June, and that put them in "soft sell" mode. They got a respectable return from the Mets for Tyler Rogers, and they sent closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees for four prospects. Then in a bit of a surprise they flipped outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals.

Earlier Thursday, the Padres acquired Athletics star closer Mason Miller and the Mariners completed a deal with the Diamondbacks for All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who is third in the National League with 36 homers and first with 87 RBI.

With a revamped roster, the Mets are +850 to win the World Series, per DraftKings Sportsbook, only behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (+285), the Philadelphia Phillies (+800) and the Detroit Tigers (+800). With the trade deadline moves, New York now has a payroll of $339.8 million, per Spotrac.
