The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Curtis Granderson from the New York Mets for a player to be named later.

Granderson gives the Dodgers depth in the outfield. Granderson is batting .273 with 17 home runs and a .979 OPS since May 10, with the latter mark ranking 10th in the Majors over that stretch.

"It's been a great four years here with the Mets organization," Granderson said, shaking hands and hugging teammates and staff members in the Mets' clubhouse early Saturday morning. "All these guys have been amazing. ... It's a little bittersweet. But to get an opportunity to play into the postseason is going to be exciting."

Joc Pederson has faded over the summer and was optioned by the Dodgers to Triple-A.
