Mets Acquire Jake Marisnick From Astros
The 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.
