Mets Announce Trade With Giants After Rockies Game
Mets Announce Trade With Giants After Rockies Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets enter Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies with a 40-24 record that sits atop of the National League East standings. New York is one of just three teams in MLB with at least 40 wins this season, joining the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers. Advertisement Losing in the National League Championship Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, New York reinforced its roster over the winter, most notably signing superstar outfielder Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million contract. While Soto and New York's talented offense grabbed most of the headlines this offseason, it has been the Mets' pitching staff that has led the way thus far.

This has been despite several injuries to key pitchers. Further bolstering this group, the Mets announced a trade with the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Sending out cash considerations to San Francisco, the Mets received right-handed pitcher Justin Garza in return. Garza has two separate stints in MLB. Making his debut in 2021 with Cleveland, the former eighth round pick out of Cal State Fullerton pitched 28.2 innings to a 4.71 ERA. Not making it back to the big leagues until 2023 with the Boston Red Sox, Garza appeared in 17 games that season, posting a 7.36 ERA in 18.1 innings.

Mets acquire RHP Justin Garza in trade with Giants
The Mets have acquired RHP Justin Garza from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations, the team announced Saturday. Garza, 31, first signed a minor league deal with the Giants organization in March 2024. After pitching to a 3.42 ERA and 1.310 WHIP over 52.2 innings in 37 appearances that year with Triple-A Sacramento, success has been much harder to come by in 19 games at that level this season. Advertisement The right-hander carries a 1-2 record (6-for-7 on save attempts) with a 6.11 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, totalling 20 strikeouts over 17.2 innings. Originally drafted by Cleveland in the 2015 MLB Draft, Garza debuted with them in 2021. He then spent the 2022 season in the minors with Cleveland before a brief stint with the Los Angeles Angels in 2023 and then the Boston Red Sox. He was outrighted and instead elected free agency after the 2023 season. Graza owns a 2-3 record with a 5.74 ERA in 47 innings over 38 major league games with Cleveland (21 games in 2021) and Boston (17 games in 2023).
