The Mets announced that they have acquired outfielder Eric Young Jr. from Colorado for RHP Collin McHugh.
On Wednesday, the Rockies designated Young for assignment giving them 10 days to trade him.
Young, 28, hit just .261 with a .671 OPS in 313 career games and is a .211 career hitter away from Coors Field.
Young was hitting .246 on the season with one home run and eight stolen bases, but his defense was the subject of plenty of scrutiny over the course of his time with the Rockies, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.
Mets VP Jay Horwitz also announced that OF Andrew Brown is on his way to join the Mets. To make room for Brown, the Mets have designated Collin Cowgill for assignment.
