"In a rapid succession of moves, the Mets fortified their bullpen Tuesday evening, acquiring two free-agent relievers and one via trade. The Mets have signed right-handers Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco to free-agent contracts, and traded for right-hander Ramon Ramirez of the Giants, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.

The trade with San Francisco also includes a swap of outfielders Angel Pagan and Andres Torres.

The Mets have not confirmed any of the transactions."
