The New York Mets have traded disgruntled outfielder Keon Broxton to the Baltimore Orioles for $500,000 in international bonus pool money.
The trade comes five days after Broxton was designated for assignment by the Mets.
Broxton told reporters last week that he was "surprised" by his lack of playing time with the Mets, who acquired the five-year veteran in an offseason trade with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Broxton, 29, batted just .143 (7-for-49) in 34 games with the Mets.
"I haven't been playing too much," Broxton told reporters last Wednesday.
