Mets Designate Wilmer Font

By Jeff Todd | July 12, 2019 at 2:06pm CDT

The Mets have designated right-hander Wilmer Font for assignment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports (Twitter link). He’ll be replaced on the active roster by fellow hurler Chris Mazza.

Font was utilized initially as a starter and then in a multi-inning capacity in New York after being shipped up from the Rays in a mid-season swap. The deal cost the Mets a far-off prospect with some interesting physical tools.

The Mets got a useful run out of Font after pushing him to the bullpen in late May. From that point through the end of June, he allowed just four earned runs and carried a 15:6 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings of work. It seems the Mets decided to move on after watching Font struggle through his past two outings, which featured three long balls in just 4 1/3 innings.

As for Mazza, he’s finally enjoying some MLB opportunities at 29 years of age. The former 27th-round pick turned in a solid spot start earlier this year and has thrown well at Triple-A. In 78 frames there, he owns a 3.69 ERA with 8.1 K/9 against 2.4 BB/9.

      1)What do you see as a fair price for the Mets to pay for Will Smith?
      2) Should a team a) ten games under .500 b) 13.5 back in the division, and c) 7 back, behind 8 other teams in the wild card, with around seventy to play pay that price?

      P.S. if this was sarcasm, perhaps you should have indicated.
