| Mets acquired first baseman Jeff Conine from the Reds for shortstop Jose Castro and outfielder Sean Henry. Conine was someone the Mets were interested in prior to the deadline, and the Reds had little reason to hold on to him, as he wasn't going to be a draft pick this winter. Cincinnati will replace him with Jorge Cantu. Conine, who is believed to be leaning towards retiring at season's end, will be used primarily as a pinch-hitter on the Mets. Aug. 20 - 5:44 pm et |
