The Mets have acquired outfielder Alexander Canario from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations, the team announced on Monday. To create a 40-man roster spot, the Mets placed infielder Nick Madrigal on the 60-day injured list.
The trade came only hours after the Mets placed infielder Nick Madrigal on the 60-day injured list. Madrigal fractured his left shoulder Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Chicago designated Canario for assignment after signing veteran infielder Justin Turner last week.
The New York Mets' acquisition of Chicago Cubs outfielder Alexander Canario is a strategic move amid a wave of player injuries. Fans reacted strongly
The measure, which passed three months after late Mayor Harold Washington endorsed a “middle course” plan for 18 night games, also meant Wrigley Field could host the 1990 All-Star Game.
It was moderately surprising that the Cubs cut Canario loose. They acquired the righty-hitting outfielder alongside Caleb Kilian in the 2021 deadline deal that sent Kris Bryant to the Giants. Canario popped 37 home runs during his first full minor league season in the Chicago system.
