The Mets are acquiring hard-throwing closer Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, a day before the July 31 Major League Baseball deadline, the team announced Wednesday. The Cardinals get back three minor leaguers: shortstop Jesus Baez and right-handed pitchers Nate Dohm and Frank Elissalt.

The hard-throwing veteran reliever is ready for any role that comes his way in the back-end of the Mets' revamped bullpen.

The MLB trade deadline is just one day away, and the Philadelphia Phillies have yet to acquire any bullpen help. While the signing of David Robertson could be beneficial, he is currently in Triple-A preparing for an inevitable call-up.
