Mets acquire Eric Young for Collin McHugh. I like this trade. McHugh did nothing for us. Young didn't exactly burn it up in Colorado, but he can play all three outfield positions and second base. Plus, he's got speed to burn...something we lack. He can't be any worse than the outfielders we have now.

To make room for their newest player, the Mets designated Collin Cowgill for assignment, essentially cutting ties with him despite his remaining Minor League options.
