The Mets have released Miguel Batista, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports. They had designated the 41-year-old right-hander for assignment four days ago.
Batista posted a 4.82 ERA with 6.6 K/9 and 6.0 BB/9 in 46 2/3 innings of work this year, including five starts. Batista joined the Mets last summer on a minor league deal and signed another with the club in January. The 18-year veteran has a 4.49 ERA with 5.8 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 in his career.
The Mets should release nearly their entire bullpen and call up any player in their system. They can’t possibly do any worse.
With Twitter down, this place is going to be bombarded all day! lol
LOL bye.
His time to hang them up has finally come. But this guy was one heck of a class act and about as versatile as they came for almost a decade there. I hope for the best for him.
one less met player that thinks their team is better than the nationals (said as the mets were in the middle of a 1-13 slide, including losing 5 of 6 to the nats).
