Mets acquire Daniel Vogelbach from Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Pirates designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach has been traded to the New York Mets, according to Robert Murray of FanSided.
What It Means:
The Mets are looking to improve their offensive capabilities post-All-Star Break, and their first move out of the gate is acquiring Vogelbach. While not a great hitter, he does have a ton of pop, and that's been something the Mets could use more of. Jon Heyman of the New York Post says that the Mets are still in the market for at least one more bat. Right-handed reliever Colin Holderman is headed to Pittsburgh in return for Vogey.
In 278 plate appearances this season, Vogelbach has a .228 batting average with a .769 OPS, 12 home runs, 29 runs and 34 RBI.
