Jose Butto emotional as he learns Mets are trading him while sitting in bullpen
As part of a deal with the Giants, Butto, Blade Tidwell and Drew Gilbert are heading to San Francisco, The Post's Joel Sherman reported.
News of the deal broke as the Mets and Padres were on the field and Buttó in the bullpen at Petco Park.
SNY captured the scene during its broadcast as the right-hander sat next to bullpen coach José Rosado, who appeared to deliver the news.

Buttó then seemed to be fighting back some emotions as he dipped his head down and wiped his face before Rosado patted him on the knee.
The hurler was later seen getting up off the bench and walking out of the bullpen, still seeming to be caught up in the news. He at one point put both hands on the back of his hat as he walked out of the bullpen.
He was later seen saying his goodbyes to players inside the Mets' dugout.
Buttó has spent his entire career with the Mets organization after he was signed as an international free agent in 2017, making his MLB debut for the club on Aug. 21, 2022, in a start against the Phillies.
This season, Buttó has pitched 47 innings with a 3.64 ERA and 41 strikeouts.
The Mets now bring in Rogers as a late-inning reliever, though the submariner is slated to be a free agent after the season.

Tidwell, a right-handed pitcher, is ranked as the 10th-best Mets prospect by MLB Pipeline. Gilbert, an outfielder, sits 12th on that list.
Rogers recorded a 1.80 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 50 innings for the Giants this season.

Mets' prospect Brandon Sproat pitches another six terrific innings for Triple-A
Fresh off being named International League Pitcher of the Month for his incredible July, Mets top pitching prospect Brandon Sproat kept things going by starting his August with another terrific performance. Facing the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A affiliate for the Chicago White Sox, Sproat began his outing by filling up the strike zone and pitching a quick 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. He went back out for the second inning and kept pumping strikes while getting around a two-out double. Sproat needed just nine pitches (all strikes) to get through the third inning. In fact, in the first three innings he threw just five balls. The right-hander's command got away from him a little bit as he walked his first batter of the game on four pitches leading off the fourth. He got to three-ball counts on his next two hitters, but retired them both on groundouts before ending the frame with another ball on the ground. In the bottom half of the inning, Syracuse's offense erupted for six runs while batting around. The Mets began the inning with eight straight hitters reaching base, including seven consecutive hits against reliever Chase Plymell. Having spent so much time in the dugout during the big inning, Sproat looked a little off in the fifth and was dinged for three runs after a walk, wild pitch, double and two-run homer. The 24-year-old righted the ship the following inning and only needed 11 pitches in a clean sixth that ended his night. Overall, Sproat went six innings and allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four on 84 pitches (53 strikes). After clearing 100 innings (he now sits at 101 IP), Sproat's season ERA rose a tick from 4.07 to 4.10, but it was still another impressive start for the Mets' No. 5 prospect, per SNY's Joe DeMayo, as he continues to try and earn a big league promotion this season from his club.
