The Mets acquired starting pitcher Paul Blackburn from the Oakland Athletics, adding a talented arm to their rotation.
Blackburn has had a strong season so far, with a 22⅓ scoreless innings streak early in the year, making him a valuable asset to the team.
This move comes as a relief for the Mets, who are dealing with the absence of their star pitcher, Kodai Senga, due to a calf injury.
The Mets sent pitching prospect Kade Morris to the A's in exchange for Blackburn, indicating a strategic move to strengthen their pitching depth.
