Desperately wanting outfield aid, the Mets on Tuesday received dilapidated outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Chicago Cubs in alternate for money, in conserving with league sources.
Maybin has been assigned to Triple-A Syracuse.
The Mets had been scouring the league for outfielders since losing Michael Conforto, Kevin Pillar, and Albert Almora Jr. to injuries.
Maybin, 34, has a .700 OPS in 14 MLB seasons. He’s batting .103 in ten games this 365 days in Triple-A.
