The New York Mets acquired right-handers Trevor Gott and Chris Flexen in exchange for lefty Zach Muckenhirn on Monday.

Flexen, who is owed $3.9 million of his $8 million salary for this season, was designated for assignment by the Mets.

Flexen had been designated for assignment by the Mariners last week, and Muckenhirn was designated for assignment by the Mets on Sunday night.
