Post New York Mets Ship Marisnick to Houston

June 15, 2020

The New York Mets and Houston Astros have made a swap. Players involved in the transaction are the Mets 29-year-old CF Jake Marisnick and the Astros 24-year-old minor league 1B J.J. Matijevic and 25-year-old RHP Yohan Ramirez.

New York will retain a portion of Marisnick's remaining contract.

This move comes after the Mets acquired their center-fielder of the near future, Randy Arozarena, from the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this June. Arozarena has continued his productive offensive attack while tuning up for his debut with the Mets. At the Mets Triple-A affiliate the center-fielder has slashed .355/.432/.516 in 8 games.

Marisnick is hitting .130 for the season with 1 home run, 8 RBIs and 4 runs scored. He has 9 hits in 69 at-bats and played in 32 games.

Edit 1 - Arozarena welcomed himself to Citi Field with a home run in his first at-bat for the Metropolitans. He took a 2-2 pitch from Chicago Cub's starting pitcher Jon Lester and deposited a bullet into the right field bleachers.



Edit 2 - Unfortunately the Mutts... er I mean the Mets went on to lose the game 6-2.
