Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET, and the New York Mets are in the midst of a race for the National League East division crown with the Philadelphia Phillies.

However, Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor is not worried about what the Mets may or may not do ahead of the trade deadline. 

"I don’t worry about adding or subtracting that is not my job. My job is to play shortstop, (I) let (the front office worry) about that, I don't have to worry about that one," Lindor told Fox News Digital last week after talking about Miracle Treat Day at DQ.

The Mets (62-47) currently hold a half-game lead over the Phillies (61-47) for first place in the NL East. 

The Mets have already made a few moves before the deadline to strengthen their bullpen, as they acquired two-time All-Star reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles, setup man Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants and two-time All-Star closer Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Soto has a 3.79 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 38 innings between the Orioles and Mets this season. Rogers has been great for the Giants as he pitched to a 1.80 ERA in 50 innings, while Helsley recorded 21 saves with a 3.00 for the Cardinals.
