General Manager Omar Minaya said the Mets will receive ‘cash considerations’ in the deal from the Braves with Francoeur.
Mets traded right fielder Ryan Church to the Braves for Jeff Francoeur prior to Friday’s contest with the Reds.
Minaya described Francoeur as a Gold Glove right fielder, who, as he put it, ‘some consider to be the best defensive right-fielder in baseball,’ and a guy who has a very good arm.
He said talks with the Braves started yesterday afternoon, and he followed up with GM Frank Wren this morning.
