NEW YORK (AP) — Center fielder Jose Siri was acquired by the New York Mets from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday for reliever Eric Orze.
The 29-year-old Siri batted .187 with 18 homers and 47 RBIs this year for the Rays, who acquired him from Houston in August 2022. He has a .210 average with 54 homers and 136 RBIs in parts of four seasons with the Astros and Rays.
Orze, a 27-year-old right-hander, was a fifth-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. He made his big league debut on July 8 at Pittsburgh and made his only other major league appearance on July 26 against Atlanta.
He was 0-1 with a 21.60 ERA for the Mets and 6-1 with a 2.92 ERA in 43 relief appearances for Triple-A Syracuse.
