Mets Select Paul Sewald, Designate Tim Peterson

By Jeff Todd | August 16, 2019 at 4:13pm CDT

As they continue to cycle through right-handed relief arms, the Mets have made a few tweaks to the makeup of their bullpen and roster. The club announced that it has selected the contract of Paul Sewald. To create 40-man space, Tim Peterson was designated for assignment, while an active roster spot was freed by optioning Drew Gagnon.

The 29-year-old Sewald has now regained the 40-man roster spot he lost earlier this season. He hasn’t found much success in the majors, with a 5.18 ERA over 128 2/3 career innings, but has managed a bit better than a strikeout per nine at the game’s highest level. Sewald has matched his career MLB strikeout rate (9.2 K/9) this year at Triple-A, combining that with 2.6 BB/9 to produce a 3.35 ERA over 51 innings.

Peterson, 28, was similarly useful in his 46 2/3 innings with the club’s top affiliate, working to a 3.09 ERA with 8.9 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9. But he has struggled in limited MLB work, allowing 5.91 earned per nine in 35 frames over the past two seasons.

    Wasn’t Peterson already DFA’d early in the year or was that Rhame? I’m glad they sent down Gagnon he looked horrible last night

        They can use Diaz to pitch to Alonso in next year’s derby. This will give this pitcher a good way to earn his inflated salary.

          Diaz makes fairly little. I’m sure the answer will be that he’s still not worth it.
