CINCINNATI — With their playoff chances slipping away, the Cincinnati Reds acquired starter Shawn Estes from the New York Mets on Thursday for two minor leaguers and two players to be named.
The Mets also agreed to pay the remainder of Estes’ contract — $1,524,592 — because Reds ownership won’t increase the payroll. Estes, 29, agreed to a $6.2 million, one-year deal in February. | ||||
