Mets Designate Hansel Robles For Assignment

By Jeff Todd | June 22, 2018 at 2:25pm CDT

The Mets have designated righty Hansel Robles for assignment, per a club announcement. With a need for roster spots to accommodate a pair of promotions, the team also moved AJ Ramos to the 60-day DL and optioned fellow right-handed relievers Paul Sewald and Chris Flexen.

Robles, 27, was a quality pen piece for the Mets in 2015 and 2016. But he has run into troubles more recently, spending time in the minors in each of the past two campaigns while struggling to deliver consistent results at the MLB level.

In total, Roblems has compiled a 4.95 ERA with 9.8 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in hs past 76 1/3 innings. Beyond the walk problems, Robles has coughed up seven long balls in his 19 2/3 MLB frames this year.

Despite the issues, it isn’t hard to imagine another team deciding to take a shot on Robles. He still brings mid-nineties heat, can be optioned, and has a history of some success in the majors. On the other hand, he has posted a rather pedestrian 10.0% swinging-strike rate this year (which is actually an improvement on his 2017 numbers), to go with the other issues.

Mets GM Sandy Alderson did not exactly attempt to put a positive spin on Robles as his seven-day period of DFA limbo begins. “You kept seeing the same thing,” Alderson told reporters including Mike Puma of the New York Post (via Twitter). “The adjustments he needed to get consistent outs probably wasn’t going to happen.”

    I apologize for being off topic (and to Jeff) but I just re-watched a few old Jeff Dunham comedy specials and now each time I see “Jeff Todd” all I hear in my head is Peanut saying…… “Jef-fa-fa Tod-da-da”.

    Knowing the Mets’ luck, he will go to another team and become an all-star.

      He’ll wash up with the padres and start racking up saves once Brad Hand gets traded

    Obviously this move is long overdue, but very unprofessional for a GM to make a comment like that after a DFA. He also just flushed any minuscule amount of trade leverage they had.

      Robles can say the same thing about the ownership of this team. Still throws mid 90s. Needs someone to teach him to pitch now. I wish him all the luck. Getting DFAd from the Mets can’t be a bad thing.

    Tired of trying to figure out if he is blaming God or pointing to the home run he just gave up.

    Not sure if it is a typo above, but “Roblems” would be a fitting nickname for this guy…lol
