PAYTON PICKED UP BY THE METS

The New York Mets acquired outfielder Mark Payton from the Cincinnati Reds for cash.

What does it give the New York Mets
Payton will provide organizational depth in the outfield, a problem area this season due to a myriad of injuries with the Mets.

What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds got back some cash in exchange for Payton, who was down on the outfield depth chart with Cincinnati and needed a change of scenery.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Payton will remain in the minor leagues for the time being.
