METS GET TWO PITCHERS FROM DODGERS
The New York Mets acquired pitchers Phil Bickford and Adam Kolarek from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash.
What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets needed big-league caliber arms after their big firesale. Bickford should immediately join the bullpen. As for Kolarek, he could either start out in Triple-A ball or join the Mets bullpen.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
Both Bickford, who was recently designated for assignment, and Kolarek fell out of the Dodgers' plans. Therefore, recouping some cash is a tidy bit of business here.
Fantasy impact
Both players in this deal are depth pieces and do not have any fantasy value.
