Mets Reacquire Mcmichael

The New York Mets, who traded reliever Greg McMichael to Los Angeles last month, got him back Friday night in a deal that sent pitcher Brian Bohanon to the Dodgers.

The Mets also received an undisclosed amount of cash. The trade was announced while New York was playing Montreal, and prior to the Dodgers’ game against San Diego.

‘It’s a strange situation,” McMichael said. “I should ask for a raise for mental stability.

The deal was the second made by Dodgers interim general manager Tom Lasorda within a week involving a pitcher. Los Angeles got All-Star reliever Jeff Shaw from Cincinnati last Saturday.

McMichael, 31, was traded by the Mets to Los Angeles on June 4 as part of the deal for pitcher Hideo Nomo. The Dodgers also got pitcher Dave Mlicki and the Mets received reliever Brad Clontz.
