The New York Post reports infielder Marco Vargas and catcher Ronald Hernandez are the prospects headed to New York.

The 38-year-old right-hander has a 2.05 ERA in 44 innings this season and was considered one of the best relievers available this trade deadline.

The Mets have the highest payroll of any club in major-league history, but have underperformed to the tune of a 48-54 record. The Marlins, meanwhile, are 55-48, just 0.5 games back in the National League Wild-Card race.
