Mets Sign Estrada
Whew! Much better than Torrealba! Estrada hit .278 with 10 homers and 54 RBI in 120 games for for the Brewers last season. Its good they were able to get rid of Mota. He wasn’t the same without the steroids. No more Moto’rin! And I like the resigning of the “slap happy” hitter Castillo. Eckstein wanted more money and can barely throw to first base.
Moving swiftly on Tuesday to address a primary need, the Mets acquired veteran catcher Johnny Estrada from the Brewers to reinforce their catching and rid themselves of a reliever who had performed poorly for them and become a Shea Stadium pariah, Guillermo Mota. - MLB
