Mets get Gary Matthews Jr. from the Angels. According to SI, the Angels will be paying for the majority of the $23 MM remaining on the contract.
My original guess is that Beltran is either more hurt than they are reporting or that the Mets just want to end the relationship with him.
If the Angels are basically picking up the contract, the move appears to provide a low risk back up while Beltran is injured. Pagan played pretty well for the Mets last year so who knows?
