Not sure why this move was necessary, although I guess the Mets will not be giving too much for him. Maybe Brown can be a decent bat off the bench, if we need him.According to the Associated Press, the Mets have acquired OF Emil Brown from the Padres for a player to be named later.
The 34-year-old Brown hit .260 with four HR and 22 RBI this season in 146 at-bats with Triple-A Portland.
Brown will be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo.
Brown hit .244 with 13 HR in 117 games with the A’s last season.
