The New York Mets have acquired speedy center fielder Jose Siri from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for reliever Eric Orze. Siri, who had a solid season with 18 home runs and 47 RBIs, is expected to bolster the Mets' outfield defense, filling the gap left by free agent Harrison Bader.
With a career-high 130 games played this year, Siri brings notable speed and defensive skills, ranking second among outfielders for outs above average. Meanwhile, Orze, a two-time cancer survivor, struggled in his brief tenure with the Mets.
