Mets are at it again-acquire another lefty for the pen.

According to the official Twitter account of the New York Mets, they have acquired LHP Jerry Blevins from Washington in exchange for Matt den Dekker. 

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Mets took on Blevin's entire $2.4M deal, in a straight-up trde for den Dekker.

This news comes on the heels of today's first trade for a LHP pitcher, Alex Torres for Cory Mazzoni and a player to be named later.

Jerry Blevins appeared in 64 games a year ago for the Nationals, pitching to the tune of a 4.87 ERA

Plain and simple, Sandy Alderson thinks it's time to compete, and it's pretty obvious. Though it shouldn't have taken an injury for Edgin for Sandy to go out and trade for major league relievers, he did it none-the-less. Now it's time to go out there and compete for real. Let's Go Mets!
