Mets Trade Closer Jeurys Familia To Oakland Athletics

NEW YORK (AP) — Jeurys Familia was traded from the New York Mets to the Oakland Athletics on Saturday for two minor leaguers and $1 million in international signing bonus pool allotment.

New York gets right-hander Bobby Wahl, infielder Will Toffey for its closer.

“This trade hits three major areas,” Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said in a statement. :We got a major league ready reliever our scouts recommended, a position player who was a high selection from the 2017 draft and strong prospect in the A’s system as well as receiving international bonus pool money to help in the future.
