Mets find their lefty reliever.

After writing a post on how I personally don't believe a lefty reliever is that integral to a team's success, the Mets just went out to prove me wrong.

The Mets have traded for LHP Alex Torres from San Diego, according to Ken Rosenthal.

Torres posted a 3.33 ERA last season in 54 appearances. Righties hit .201 while lefties his .259.

What the Mets sent the Padres in return is unknown t the moment.

Well, there you have it. After Edgin's injury, no left handed reliever stepped it up in camp, so Sandy went out and got one himself. Torres's numbers are respectable, and he should be a nice addition to a potentially strong bullpen.
