The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired outfielder Alexander Canario from the New York Mets on Monday for cash considerations, the club announced. In a corresponding move, the Pirates transferred injured righty Jared Jones from the 15-day to 60-day injured list,

6:37pm: Pittsburgh announced the trade and transferred Jones to the 60-day IL. He’s early into a six-week shutdown after experiencing elbow soreness in Spring Training, so he won’t be ready for MLB game action until the latter half of June at the earliest.

Neither Alexander Canario nor Jose Azocar could be optioned to the minor leagues so now the Mets can try to find a trade partner or expose them to waivers.

Mets outfielder Alexander Canario is not expected to break camp with the major league club, reports Mike Puma of The New York Post. The 24-year-old is out of minor league options, so he’ll likely be removed from the 40-man roster in the next day or two.

The Pirates acquired Canario from the Mets on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Canario is out of minor-league options, so he will join the Pirates' major-league roster. The 24-year-old looks to be in line for a reserve role in Pittsburgh, but he's a flier with some upside.

Despite an impressive spring, there’s no fit for Canario, and because the 24-year-old doesn’t have any minor league contract options left, the Mets could designate him for assignment.

Alexander Canario spent most of last season with Triple-A Iowa and hit .243/.336/.514 with 13 doubles, 18 home runs, 47 RBIs and five steals in 64 games. While the overall numbers are good, he did strike out in just over 30% of his plate appearances.
