Mets acquire Cowgill from A's
The New York Mets acquired outfielder Collin Cowgill from the Oakland A's for minor-league infielder Jefry Marte.
The A's announced the deal on Tuesday. It opens up a spot on the 40-man roster that filled with the signing of Japanese player Hiroyuki Nakajima.
Cowgill, 26, has a .255 average in in 219 career big-league plate appearances.
