FLUSHING, NY, August 3, 2026 - The New York Mets have announced that they have acquired INF Sammy Stafura from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for RHP Luke Weaver and cash considerations.
Stafura, 21, has appeared in 60 games between High-A Greensboro and Class-A Bradenton, combining to slash .276/.367/.593 with 45 runs, 61 hits, eight doubles, one triple, 20 home runs, 54 RBI, 20 stolen bases and a .960 OPS. He is one of seven players in the minor leagues this season with at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.
