The New York Mets have traded reliever David Robertson to the Miami Marlins, in a reversal of the normal buyer/seller roles these teams have.
The 38 year old Robertson was signed to a one year, $10 million deal by the Mets this offseason, and has filled in as the closer in the absence of Edwin Diaz in 2023. While Robertson has a 2.05 ERA this year, that’s a little misleading, as he sports a 2.99 xERA and a 3.60 FIP. Still, he is a solid veteran reliever who has extensive postseason experience, including with the Phillies last year.
