Lots of interesting, funny, idiotic, and insightful things were said by the Mets—and about them—recently. Here are some of our favorites.

The Mets have acquired Baltimore Orioles left-handed reliever Gregory Soto in exchange for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster on Friday afternoon.

Will Leitch of MLB.com listed six winners of the trade deadline, and the Mets were among them. "The Mets, for all their talent and all that payroll, had clear holes: The bullpen, center field, the back of the rotation. They didn’t help out the rotation much, but they took care of the other two quite nicely," Leitch wrote.
