METS DEAL FOR PITCHER POUNDERS

The New York Mets acquired pitcher Brooks Pounders from the Cleveland Indians for cash.

What does it give the New York Mets
In Pounders, the Mets acquired a 28-year-old reliever with some experience pitching out of the bullpen in Major League Baseball. That will likely be his role in Queens, too.

What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
The Indians moved Pounders for cash after signing him to a minor-league contract last off-season. He did not make the team in the spring and had been toiling at Triple-A Columbus.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Pounders will likely serve a middle or long-relief role with the Mets.
