As tipped by Buster Olney several days ago, the Mets have acquired P Dave Williams and a bag of money from Cincinnati in exchange for RHP Robert Manuel.
Said move comes on the heels of Bobby Abreu and Ryan Howard (above) absolutely clobbering Jeremi Gonzalez earlier today. Gonzalez has been designated for assignment, though perhaps the assignment should be something involving working in retail.
I know that Jose Reyes has his up and downs and that Mets fans get on him from time to time, but it looks at this point like he has taken over Mike Piazzas spot as #1 Phillie-killer.
