Zack Short Traded to Red Sox by Mets for Cash Considerations

The trade comes after Zack Short was designated for assignment, making room for J.D. Martinez's return to the Mets.

Zack Short, a 28-year-old infielder, was traded by the New York Mets to the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations.
Short had a brief stint with the Mets, appearing in 10 games and batting .111 this season.
He was designated for assignment on April 26, following J.D. Martinez's activation from the injured list.
The trade decision was influenced by the Mets' preference to retain Joey Wendle, a more experienced player.
Short, originally claimed off waivers from the Detroit Tigers, has a career MLB batting average of .172 with 13 home runs.
