Mets call up six players to replenish roster post-trade deadline
Summary

The New York Mets are promoting six players to their active roster following a series of trades ahead of the deadline. The trades left the Mets with several vacancies after they dealt away seven active roster players. The new additions include RHP Dedniel Núñez, LHP Jefry Yan, LHP Nate Lavender, RHP Chayce McDermott, RHP Xzavion Curry, and OF Cristian Pache. McDermott, recently acquired from the Dodgers, complements a group of players being elevated from Triple-A Syracuse. These promotions aim to address the gaps left by departed relievers. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns mentioned the team's need to bolster their bullpen in the offseason, indicating a bridging role for the call-ups in the interim.
