Mets Acquire Adrian Houser, Tyrone Taylor From Brewers
12 months agoThe New York Mets acquired right-hander Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for a minor-league right-hander Coleman Crow, whom the Mets acquired in the Eduardo Escobar trade, according to a source. The deal clears money for the Brewers, with Houser projected to make $5.6 million in salary arbitration and Taylor $1.7 million. The 30-year-old Houser will probably be in competition for a rotation spot in New York in spring training, especially if the Mets find a way to land Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He had a solid 4.12 ERA with 96 strikeouts and 34 walks in 111 1/3 innings covering 21 starts and two relief outings in 2023. Taylor, 29, should open 2024 as outfield depth in Queens. He played in 81 games this past season due to an elbow injury and underwhelmed by hitting .234.
