Mets Waive Gary Matthews Jr.

By Zachary Links | June 12, 2010 at 8:37pm CDT

The Mets have requested release waivers on outfielder Gary Matthews Jr., writes Pete Kerzel for MLB.com.  The club designated Matthews for assignment late last week which gave them ten days to release, trade, or waive the veteran.

Matthews posted a slash line of .190/.266/.241 in 65 plate appearances for the Mets in 2010.  After acquiring him for Brian Stokes in January, the Mets were on the hook for just $2MM of the $23.5MM owed to him for this year and next.  However, the poor performance of Matthews coupled with the strong play of Angel Pagan meant the end of his time in Queens.

      Mathews Jr. can join Julio Lugo in the Independent Leagues after this year is about as close to Boston as he’ll get. this guy is of less use than Joey Gathright, they had last year and Jonathon VanEvery, they already let go who ar both career AAAA players that at least hustle and don’t whine and complain all the time.

    A few good steroid years with decent numbers , and good power, and matthews jr gets 50 million. Steroids have given the game a black eye, and there is no teste for human growth hormones so we will see more of the same.

    So the Mets paid $2M to get rid of Stokes. I love how they pretend they have to penny-pinch.
