The Mets have now acquired a backup: good-fielding, modest-hitting Gary Matthews Jr. of the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels signed Matthews to a five-year, $50 million contract after the 2006 season, and it quickly came to be seen as one of the worst contracts in baseball because of Matthews’s limitations as a hitter.
He is owed $23 million over the final two years of his deal, and the Angels are expected to pick up most of the cost, making him a relatively inexpensive acquisition for the Mets... NYTimes.
