The Mets have traded pitcher Cooper Criswell to the Mariners for cash considerations, following his designation for assignment. Criswell, a 29-year-old right-hander previously acquired from the Red Sox, had a 3.57 ERA in seven MLB appearances last season and a 3.70 ERA in Triple-A. To accommodate this trade, Seattle designated Jhonathan Diaz for assignment. Mets President David Stearns expressed confidence in new acquisition Freddy Peralta as a reliable starter for the upcoming season.
