According to multiple reports, OF Jeff Francouer has been traded to the Texas Rangers for utility INF Joaquin Arias.
This move had to be made. As great of a guy Jeff Francouer is in the clubhouse and in general, he was just not producing on the field. I think the Mets will miss his personality and clubhouse presence but the bottom line is production. I wish Jeff nothing but success in Texas and his future.
Joaquin Arias is a good fall back option to build depth in the infield. In 101 plate appearances for the Rangers this season, the 25 yr old Arias hit .276 with 0 HR and just 6 extra-base hits.
