NY Mets Mets Trade Matt Harvey To Reds For Catcher Devin Mesoraco

Matt Harvey’s career on the New York Mets came to an end on Tuesday, when the team announced that they had traded him to the Reds. In exchange, Cincinnati is sending catcher Devin Mesoraco to New York, which has a need at that position after losing its top two catchers, Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki, to injuries last month. Plawecki is expected to return from a broken hand in several weeks but d’Arnaud is out for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. A 2013 all-star, Harvey bounced back from Tommy John surgery that year, missing the 2014 season but recording a 2.71 ERA the following season. However, further injuries, most notably a 2016 case of thoracic outlet syndrome that required season-ending surgery, proved to be a career downfall for Harvey.
