Mets pull trigger on trade for pitcher ...

stokes.jpgNo, not any of those. Get serious. Anyway, the team just announced the acquisition of reliever Brian Stokes -- for cash considerations -- from the Devil Rays.

Stokes, a 28-year-old righthander, went 2-7 with a 7.07 ERA in 59 games for Tampa Bay last season. He struck out 35 and walked 25 in 62 1/3 innings. Stokes, currently pitching in the Mexican winter league, is 3-3 with three saves and a 4.30 ERA in 12 games, including three starts, for Mexicali.

Stokes was primarily a starter for the Rays in 2006, when he went 1-0 with a 4.88 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance, so he does have some flexibility and looks like an option for long relief.
