The Mets acquired outfielder Trot Nixon from the Diamondbacks on Friday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Nixon, 34, was hitting .309 with 10 home runs for Triple-A Tucson. Best known for the decade he spent playing left field for the Red Sox, Nixon is a career .275 hitter. The move shores up an outfield that currently has two players, Moises Alou and Ryan Church, on the disabled list. Neither is due back soon.

Nixon is a "good clubhouse guy." Something tells me the Mets need that right about now. Hopefully, he won't prove to be just another Omar Minaya trade for a 30-something outfielder gone wrong.
