Mets get Matthews for Stokes: Unable to find regular playing time for Gary Matthews, the Angels traded the outfielder to the Mets on Friday and agreed to pay $21.5 million as part of the deal. Los Angeles received right-handed reliever Brian Stokes, a native Californian. New York wanted another outfielder after Carlos Beltran had knee surgery last week. Beltran, sidelined for much of last season, is not expected back until May, and Matthews will compete with Angel Pagan to play center field while Beltran is on the DL. "I think it's going to be open competition," Mets GM Omar Minaya said. "Nobody's going to be given the job." Matthews is owed salaries of $11 million this year and $12 million in 2011, plus a $500,000 bonus for getting traded. The Mets will pay just $1 million per season, and the Angels will give New York money to cover the remainder of the salary plus the bonus, a person familiar with the details told The Associated Press.

Fantasy Analysis
It was expected Angel Pagan would start the month of April in center as Beltran recovers from early January knee surgery, but Matthews might compete for starts out of the gate in center. Consider him a sleeper for NL-only leagues at this point. It is pretty apparent now, though, the grossly overpaid Matthews is merely a part-time outfielder and useless in most mixed leagues.
