The Mets have traded OF Darrell Ceciliani to the Toronto Blue Jays, the clubs have confirmed.
Ceciliani hit .206 in 68 at-bats last season. He started 13 games in the early part of the season, having a couple nice moments but mostly struggling before being sent back to the minors when the Mets upgraded their offense. He was DFA’d last week to make room for Yoenis Cespedes on the 40-man roster.
The Mets announced that they acquired cash considerations from Toronto, while the Blue Jays announced that they were sending a Player To Be Named Later to New York. (Reports suggest it is indeed cash)
Sandy Alderson did not manage to walk away with the tattered remains of Toronto’s farm system in this deal.
