Chris Schwinden is back with the Mets after a busy month that saw him change organizations four times. The Mets announced that they claimed the right-hander off of waivers from the Yankees and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo (Twitter link).
The Blue Jays claimed him off of waivers from the Mets on June 2nd, the Indians claimed him off of waivers from Toronto four days later, and the Yankees claimed him on June 29th before designating him for assignment yesterday. Schwinden has a 4.31 ERA with 6.3 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 14 starts for four Triple-A teams this year. He also appeared in three games for the Mets.
Will be DFA’d tomorrow.
WHY?!?!
$20 says he gets DFA’d by next Thursday.
He must have a TON of Bonus Miles.
Can he use them when he pitches in Japan?
His cup of coffee never gets cold.
Maybe he makes a mean PB+J sandwich

To be fair, he didn’t really get claimed by the Mets. The waiver wire just designated him for assignment.
