METS ADD RELIEVER FERNANDO SALAS
The New York Mets acquired pitcher Fernando Salas from the Los Angeles Angels for pitcher Erik Manoah.
What does it give the New York Mets
The Mets are making a run at the National League Wild Card, so adding Salas should help the bullpen down the stretch. He will likely pitch in the seventh and eighth innings for New York.
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have had a lost season, so every deal they make that is geared towards the future is a step in the right direction. Manoah is a solid pitching prospect with several years to go in his development.
Fantasy impact
Salas should see a slight spike in fantasy value down the stretch, while Manoah is a decent future fantasy pitcher to stash away in keeper leagues (but still several years away from fantasy relevance).
