PITTSBURGH -- Right-hander Akeel Morris' career ERA stands at 67.50. It ranks as the second-highest in New York Mets history, trailing only the 108.00 ERA put up by Garrett Olson in one-third of an inning in 2012, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Now, Morris will not get a chance to one day chip away at that ERA as a Met. He was traded Wednesday to the Atlanta Braves for infielder Kelly Johnson and cash. Morris was 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA and six saves in 22 relief appearances with Double-A Binghamton this season.
