Mets Acquire Daniel Vogelbach From Pirates For Colin Holderman

[RealGM Wiretap]

The first-place New York Mets added some much-needed punch at designated hitter Friday, acquiring Daniel Vogelbach from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a trade for rookie reliever Colin Holderman.

The burly Vogelbach, a left-handed hitter and an All-Star in 2019 with Seattle, was batting .228 with 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and a .769 OPS in 75 games for the rebuilding Pirates.

Too bad, I liked Holderman. I understand the plan, however if there are many reliever options at the deadline. Mets definitely needed a big bat, the pitching has been tolerable, but now the hitting has stopped.
