Three-team blockbuster nets Mets Putz

J.J. Putz was acquired from Seattle and the story offers better detail.

Putz is a marquee addition, given his ninth-inning pedigree. He took over the Mariners' closing duties in 2006 and saved 76 games between '06 and '07. But this past season, injuries limited him to 47 appearances. He went 6-5 with a 3.88 ERA and 15 saves.
