Matt Harvey Traded to Reds for Devin Mesoraco After Pitcher DFA'd by Mets
Pitcher Matt Harvey was a critical piece in the New York Mets' 2015 World Series appearance, but he has been a shell of himself since and will look to reestablish his dominance on a new team after being traded to the Cincinnati Reds.
Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported the news, noting the Mets will receive catcher Devin Mesoraco and cash in return.
With New York already in Cincinnati for a three-game series, Harvey will only have to change locker rooms.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports provided a breakdown of the money situation for each side:
