The Mets acquired right-handers Trevor Gott and Chris Flexen in a deal with the Seattle Mariners Monday, the team announced. In return, the Mariners received rookie left-hander Zach Muckenhirn.
Gott will be the only addition to the Mets’ bullpen, as the team designated Flexen for assignment. Flexen, who was owed $8 million this season, was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week. The Mets are now responsible for the $4 million left on contract.
Gott joins the Mets after appearing in 30 games this season. The reliever is 0-3 with a 4.03 ERA in 29 innings of work. Gott has pitched for eight major league teams in eight seasons and has a 16-13 overall record with a 4.70 ERA.
He appeared in just three games this season, totaling a 6.00 ERA in six innings of work.
The Mets also announced that the team transferred right-hander Edwin Uceta to the 60-day injured list.
