Mets Acquire Jake Marisnick From Astros
5 years agoThe New York Mets acquired outfielder Jake Marisnick from the Astros on Thursday in exchange for lefty relief pitcher Blake Taylor and outfielder Kenedy Corona. The 28-year-old Marisnick is a wizard with the glove and can play all three outfield positions at an above-average level. However, he hit just .233 with 10 home runs and 34 RBI for the Astros in 2019 in 73 starts. He's never been much of a fantasy asset for his bat and is a better real-life player than fantasy one. Marisnick is a career .227 hitter with 54 home runs and 178 RBI in seven seasons with Miami and Houston. Taylor, 24, had 10 saves and a 2.16 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 40 outings in three minor league levels with New York last year. Corona is just 19 and hit .301 with 23 extra-base hits and 19 steals in his first professional season.
