Mets Release Stephen Tarpley

By Anthony Franco | July 17, 2021 at 3:07pm CDT

TODAY: The Mets have officially released Tarpley, as first reported by SNY’s Jacob Resnick (Twitter link).  Tarpley also recently announced on his Instagram page that he will be undergoing some type of surgery, though the exact nature of the procedure isn’t known.

JULY 11: The Mets have designated reliever Stephen Tarpley for assignment, according to the MLB.com transactions tracker. The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Jerad Eickhoff, whose previously-reported selection has been made official.

Tarpley has made one appearance for New York this season, failing to record an out while allowing a hit, two walks and a hit batsmen. He has made nine appearances at Triple-A Syracuse, allowing seventeen runs (fifteen earned) in just 8 2/3 innings.

It obviously hasn’t been a banner season for Tarpley, but he’s appeared in the big leagues in each of the past four years. A former Orioles and Pirates prospect, the southpaw made his debut with the Yankees and has also seen some time with the Marlins. Across 44 2/3 MLB innings, the 28-year-old has a 7.05 ERA/4.46 SIERA. He’s missed bats at a slightly above-average 11.3% clip and struck out a solid 26.7% of batters faced at the big league level. But Tarpley’s also issued walks at an alarming 14.3% rate and served up eight home runs in his brief major league work. The Mets will have a week to trade him or expose him to waivers.

    For whatever reason, the Yankees loved him. Carried him in the postseason. I couldn’t figure it out.

      His 1st year numbers with NYY were decent, 2nd year, not so much…

    Now release Castro and bring in a competent bullpen arm like Rich Rod, Kimbrel, or Chafin

    I don’t know why they held onto him so long over Zamora, Sewald, etc.
