The New York Mets announced today they have acquired righthanded relief pitcher Luis Ayala from the Washington Nationals in exchange for a player to be named later…that player will be Anderson Hernandez. The Nationals mistakenly released the name.
Ayala, 30, is 1-8 with 19 holds and a 5.77 ERA in 62 games for the Nationals this year. In 57.2 innings, he’s yielded 63 hits, 41 runs, 37 earned, with 22 walks and 36 strikeouts.
Since 2003, Ayala is fifth among National League relievers with 87 holds.
