Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The New York Mets got pitchers Jason Vargas and Adam Bostick from the Florida Marlins Monday for pitchers Henry Owens and Matt Lindstrom.
"We think Vargas and Bostick are two promising left-handed pitchers and we're happy to have them in the organization," said Mets GM Omar Minaya, who also signed veteran outfielder Moises Alou to a one-year contract on Monday.
Vargas, 23, was 1-2 with a 7.33 ERA in 12 games last season for the Marlins. He began the season in the starting rotation, making five starts, but was demoted to the bullpen and split time between Triple-A and the Marlins.
Bostick, 23, split 2006 with Double-A Carolina and Triple-A Albuquerque.
Owens, 26, made four appearances with New York in 2006. He did not surrender a run in three of those four. Lindstrom, also 26, started the year in the minors.
