FLUSHING, N.Y., June 23, 2023 – The New York Mets today announced that the club has acquired minor league RHPs Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux from the Angels in exchange for INF Eduardo Escobar and cash considerations.

Crow, 22, ranked as the Angels No. 17 prospect, according to Baseball America. The right-hander has made four starts for Double-A Rocket City in 2023, going 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA (5 ER/24.0 IP), six walks and 31 strikeouts. He was selected by the Angels in the 28th round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, but did not make his pro debut until 2021 due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor league season. In three seasons in the Angels organization, he has gone 15-6 with a 4.33 ERA (103 ER/214.1 IP).

Marceaux, 23, was the Angels No. 20-ranked prospect, per Baseball America.
