Travis Snider traded to the Mets

The Texas Rangers have traded outfielder Travis Snider to the New York Mets for cash considerations, John Blake has announced.

Snider, 29, was signed to a minor league deal in the offseason, and has spent the year at AAA Round Rock, putting up a .294/.375/.435 slash line in 413 plate appearances for the Express.

The Rangers are likely getting just a nominal amount back, and Snider will presumably have a better chance of getting a major league callup in September with the Mets than with Texas.
