Because the Mets need another outfielder: Complete trade for Emil Brown

The Mets now have 2,302,884 outfielders in their organization with the addition of Emil Brown from the San Diego Padres.

No word on who went West for Brown, but I wouldn’t worry that your favorite player is no longer with the Mets.

Updated – 4:10 p.m.: It’s a “player to be named later.”

In 736 career games spanning nine seasons, Brown has a .258 batting average and .323 on-base percentage.

Last season, with Oakland, he hit .244 / .297 / .386 with 13 HR and 59 RBI.

Brown will report to Triple-A Buffalo.

Could this mean the Mets are planning to keep Fernando Martinez around long-term?  Seems it.  That would also likely spell the end of Ryan Church in New York.
