Mets trade Elvin Ramirez to Angels

The Mets have traded pitcher Elvin Ramirez to the Angels in exchange for cash considerations. Ramirez posted a 5.48 ERA in 25 games with the Mets last season. 

The Mets have been looking to find space on the 40 man roster, and it was recently reported that they were going to attempt to trade their "non-core prospects" in order to get the space they need. Ramirez looked good in the minor leagues, but came up to the big leagues last season and really disappointed. He was known for his ability to throw strikes, but he struggled to do so last fall, and really showed some flaws in his game. I honestly have no problem with the club getting rid of him, despite his age and potential, and I expect more of these moves to come.
