Mets add Ruf in multi-player swap with Giants
The Mets replaced one right-handed bench bat with another on Tuesday, acquiring veteran Darin Ruf from the Giants for J.D. Davis and prospects, sources tell MLB.com.
Neither club has confirmed the deal.
Ruf, 36, has a long history of mashing left-handed pitching, including an .887 OPS against southpaws this season. He is capable of playing first base and both corner outfield positions, though with the Mets, he’s likely to serve mostly as a DH compliment to newly acquired lefties Daniel Vogelbach and Tyler Naquin.
Davis, 29, filled the Mets’ righty bench bat role for the first four months of the season, but he slashed just .238/.324/.359 in 207 plate appearances.
In addition to Davis, left-handed pitching prospects Thomas Szapucki and Nick Zwack and righty pitching prospect Carson Seymour are also reportedly going to the Giants in the deal, per Joel Sherman. Zwack and Seymour were both 2021 Draft picks for the Mets.
