The New York Mets sent outfielder Lastings Milledge to the Washington Nationals for catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church on Friday.
Milledge was touted by the Mets as a top prospect for the past several years, but attitude problems and mediocre performance prompted New York to deal the 22-year old who batted .272 with seven homers and 29 RBI last season.
Schneider leaves the Nationals after spending his entire eight-year career with the organization. He batted .235 with six homers and 54 RBI in 2007 and is a lifetime .252 hitter. Church, 29, hit .272, belted 15 long balls, and drove in 72 runs last year.
