According to Mets.com, The Mets have made a trade with the Florida Marlins.
27 year old RHP Henry Owens and 26 year old RHP Matt Lindstrom are headed to Florida for 23 year old LHP Jason Vargas and 23 year old LHP Adam Bostick.
“We think Vargas and Bostick are two promising lefthanded pitchers and we're happy to have them in the organization,” said Mets General Manager Omar Minaya.
The Marlins drafted Vargas out of Long Beach State with their second-round pick in the 2004 draft. Vargas went 1-2 with a 7.33 ERA for the Marlins and 3-6 with a 7.43 ERA for the Isotopes in 2006.
Bostick went 1-2, 4.67 in five starts after his promotion to Triple-A Albuquerque, with a 30/13 K/BB in 27 innings. On the year, he went 9-9, 3.74 with a 139/80 K/BB in 142 innings between the Isotopes and Double-A Carolina.
Owen after four years in the class A leagues was promoted to the AA Binghamton Mets, where he compiled 51 and only allowed 8 hits in 25 innings pitched while closing.
He made his major league debut on July 7th 2006. He pitched a perfect ninth inning in a 7-3 Mets loss to the Florida Marlins. The first batter he faced, Alfredo Almezaga, struck out looking at a 96 mph fastball.
Lindstrom began the 2005 season at AA Binghamton, which was determined to be a make-or-break year for his career. He went 2-5 with an ERA of 5.40 with and had troubling walk and home-run rates of 6.75 BB/9 and 1.35 HR/9 in thirty-five games. He had ten starts, and was switched to bullpen duty midway through the season.

Mets Blog is reporting by way of Ken Rosenthal on Fox Sports that the Mets may be in talks to acquire cathcer Danny Ardoin, 32, was designated for assignment by the Rockies last Friday and jack of all trades, Luis Gonzales.
poor hitter but strong defender, he likely would replace Mike DiFelice.
Ramon Castro, the Mets' primary backup catcher, underwent surgery last
week to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Gonzalez,
27, primarily is a second baseman, but he has played all four infield
positions in the past two seasons as well as left field and right. He
would give the Mets protection if Jose Valentin again is slowed by his
right hamstring injury. Chris Woodward is currently the Mets' only
backup infielder.
In return for Ardoin and Gonzalez, the Rockies
likely would receive Class AA right-hander Matt Lindstrom, 26, or Class
AA right-hander Henry Owens, 27.

complete game, limiting Bowie to two hits in a 3-0 B-Mets win. The
effort was actually Devaney’s third complete game this season, tied for
the most in minor-league baseball entering the weekend.
With that victory, the Camas, Wash., native – who turns 24 on July
31 – improved to 24-7 record since signing with the Mets as a
23rd-round pick from Concordia University in Portland, Ore., in 2004.
He enjoyed a 32-inning scoreless streak this season at high-A St.
Lucie, was named a Florida State League All-Star, and led his team to
its first-half division title by posting an 8-3 record and a 1.62 ERA
before his promotion. The 6-4 righthander’s biggest win this season
came on the second-to-last day of the first half on June 20, when he
took a no-hitter one out into the eighth inning in a 2-0 win against Brevard County.
Here are some more highlights from Rubin…
- Royce Ring’s
scoreless-innings streak ended at a Norfolk-record 26 2/3 innings July
8 against Ottawa. Ring, the Tides’ lone Triple-A All-Star
representative, pitched a scoreless inning Wednesday at the event. - Philip Humber’s comeback from Tommy John elbow surgery continues. The third overall pick in the 2004 draft, one slot behind Detroit’s Justin Verlander,
limited Brevard County to two unearned runs and three hits in six
innings. Humber has a 3.86 ERA and .208 opponent batting average in
four starts with St. Lucie - Alay Soler hasn’t done much since his July 3 demotion to
Norfolk. The Cuban defector, who complained that right calf discomfort
affected his last big-league start against the Yankees, had been
walking around in a boot with the Tides and could be headed to the
disabled list - Lastings Milledge has twice been denied first base by plate umpires after getting hit by pitches on his elbow guard since returning to the minors.
- Michael Tucker entered yesterday hitting .333 (19-for-57) in his last 19 games.
- Edgardo Alfonzo joins the Tides tomorrow.
