The Mets have traded reliever Gonzalez Germen to the New York Yankees for cash, the team announced.
It’s the first trade between these two teams since 2004 when Felix Heredia was swapped for Mike Stanton.
Germen, 27, had a 4.75 ERA in 25 relief appearances for the Mets in 2014 with a 1.45 WHIP in 30 1/3 innings. He was designated for assignment when the Mets added Mayberry to the roster on Monday.
The cash should help the Mets bolster their roster, I mean piggy bank.
