Chris Carter Going To The New York Mets

This is just a quick update to my New York Mets trade Billy Wagner to the Boston Red Sox post earlier today.

The Boston Red Sox are sending two players to be named later to the Mets for Wagner and one of those players will be Chris Carter. Carter is a 26-year-old 1B/OF who was hitting .279 with 14 home runs and 59 RBI for Triple-A Pawtucket this year.

While Carter appears to be a classic Quadruple-A player, I have seen Carter hit and I will say this—he is a better hitter than Daniel Murphy.

Carter should get a shot to prove himself with the Mets down the stretch.
