Mets acquire Marshall from Athletics

The New York Mets added to their bullpen with the addition of Jay Marshall from the Oakland Athletics. Marshall was 0-2 with a 14.72 ERA in 10 outings out of the Oakland bullpen, but had been one of Triple-A Sacramento's more effective relievers prior to that, going 5-3 with seven saves and a 3.20 ERA in 50 games with the River Cats.

Originally drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 25th round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, Marshall made his big league debut with Oakland in 2007 as a Rule 5 selection, spending the entire season with the Athletics and posting a 6.43 ERA in 51 games in the athletics jersey. He has a 7.66 ERA, with a 2.85 ERA in 219 Minor League games and 61 big league games.
