Mets acquire reliever Huascar Brazoban from the Fish for minor-leaguer Wilfredo Lara!

Mets acquire reliever Tyler Zuber from the Rays for minor-leaguer Paul Gervase!

Mets acquire longtime Oakland Pathetic (and 2022 All-Star) Paul Blackburn for minor-leaguer Kade Morris!

Feel the excitement! (If Blackburn ever reaches the 7th inning, I'll faint from the shock.)

Could be worse, but I think this is mostly puttering around the edges, hopefully not blowing up in our face down the road.

Off to discover if Tyler Zuber is related to the immortal Bill "Goober" Zuber, Yankees and Red Sox pitcher of the 1940s.

Edit: Apparently not. But I did discover that Bill Zuber (along with Milo Candini) is what the Yankees got when they dumped the hugely talented (and hugely self-destructive) Gerry Priddy on Washington after 1942.

If you don't know about Priddy, read up on him. It's a blast. [/cheap joke]
