Gary Matthews Jr. Traded to Mets

According to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick, The Mets have acquired outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. from the Angels.  It is believed that the Angels will pay a good chunk of the 2 years and $23 million of Matthews Jr. remaining contract.  It is unclear who or what the Angels would get in return. 

With the Mets, Matthews Jr. would combine with Angel Pagan in centerfield while Carlos Beltran recovers from offseason knee surgery.

It's about freaking time this move was made as many true Angel fans know.  It is a day to rejoice.  Good luck GMJ.  It looks like you finally got what you wanted.  An opportunity to play everyday.
