Mets Designate Tyler Bashlor For Assignment

By Steve Adams | July 28, 2020 at 4:14pm CDT

The Mets announced Tuesday that they’ve designated right-hander Tyler Bashlor for assignment. His roster spot will go to southpaw David Peterson, who is being selected to the 40-man roster for his MLB debut.

Bashlor, 27, has seen time in the Majors in each of the past two seasons but hasn’t yet stood out. Over 54 frames in the big leagues, the former 11th-round pick has a 5.33 ERA, 7.5 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9. Bashlor averages 96 mph on his heater, but he’s an extreme fly-ball pitcher (career 31.2 percent ground-ball rate) who has averaged two home runs per nine inning pitched in the Majors.

Bashlor does have a sharp track record in Double-A and Triple-A, which, combined with his high-end fastball spin (97th percentile) and a remaining minor league option, could make him appealing to another organization in need of some bullpen depth. The Mets have a week to trade Bashlor, place him on outright waivers or release him.

    Rather have dumped Strickland as I still think Bashlor has potential

      Strickland has looked pretty lost ever since the Harper fight.

    Nah Bashlor isn’t going there. Would you go? I’d rather opt out of the season then go to the Marlins.

    Does anyone know who was removed from the Mets’ 40-man roster when Nunez, Strickland, and Shreve? They designated Gonsalves and lost him to the Red Sox but no other roster move was reported. The website still lists 43 players, including Syndergaard, who is on the 60-day IL. Did they DFA others or move someone to the 45-day IL? Is someone on the restricted list?

      I have 42 players listed on the 40-man roster, but players on the Covid-19 IL don’t count against the limit even though they’re still technically on the 40-man.

      Brad Brach is on the Covid-19 IL, and Jared Hughes was placed on the IL for undisclosed reasons, which in 2020 has generally meant it is Covid-19 related. That’d explain the discrepancy. Many clubs have overages because of similar instances right now.

        Thanks, Steve. This has been bothering me for almost a week. I either did not know or had forgotten that the COVID-19 IL does not count towards the 40. It makes the Peterson move a bit more curious since they’ll have to clear two more spots on the 40 if and when they get Brach and Hughes back, unless they don’t think they are getting Brach and Hughes back. If they were, I’d have brought up someone to start I can DFA without regret. Or, the signing of Maxwell is a precusor to designating Rivera or Nido.

          With respect to the COVID-19 IL, can players working their way back stay on it or must they be away from the team while on it and be removed from it once they start working out at the alternate site on the equivalent of extended spring training or a rehab assignment?
