Mets To Claim Jake Reed Off Waivers From Rays

By Anthony Franco | August 2, 2021 at 1:48pm CDT

The Mets are claiming reliever Jake Reed off waivers from the Rays, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com (Twitter link). Tampa Bay designated the right-hander for assignment over the weekend.

Reed’s time with the Rays was extremely brief, consisting of just a single appearance with Triple-A Durham. Prior to that, he’d spent some time with the Dodgers organization, signing a minor league deal and being selected to the big league roster in early July. Reed made six appearances with Los Angeles, working 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball before being designated for assignment. Tampa Bay plucked him off waivers but will lose him themselves just a week later.

This season, Reed has worked 22 1/3 innings of 5.24 ERA ball across three Triple-A affiliates. He was bombed in eight appearances with the Angels’ top affiliate in Salt Lake but pitched far better after signing with the Dodgers. Reed has punched out a solid 28.3% of batters faced at the level this season, while walking just 7.1% of opponents. He also still has all three minor league options years remaining, so the Mets can shuttle Reed back and forth between Queens and Triple-A Syracuse if he can stick on the 40-man roster.

    Mets are becoming bottom feeders.

      Awww man, @Curly.
      Your post triggered me. Once I read the words “delicious catfish” I was no longer in control of myself. Now, I absolutely have to get down to the river & it’ll have to be in the evening.

      Looks like I’ll be listening to Yanks, Orioles tonight in search of some channel cats. Hoping you can help explain all this to my girlfriend.

        Are you hook & sinker or a noodler? If you can jam your hand down a catfish’s throat, you have my ultimate respect, although, I can’t explain that to your girlfriend, but I am free for dinner the next few nights. RSVP

          “Hun, I know I’ve been working a lot & we had plans to make dinner tonight. But I let some stooge on the internet get me all triggered out. Just need a few quiet hours. How about a late dinner & I will make breakfast in the morning.”

          Even worked in a Banging Scheme.

          Used a “bumpin rig”. Grasshoppers would have been better but used a premade bait (Berkly’s Powerbait).
          A couple 16-18″.
          Grilled them last night.

          Went from the Dodgers to the Ray’s.
          I understand his results are rugged. However, knowing those 2 clubs had some interest in him seems like a positive.

          Baseball Savant may have some clues. Maybe he’s one of those low spin rate sinker guys that the Yanks have recently become enamored with.

          It’s not like they’re bringing someone in from the independent league. He was on the Ray’s roster. Granted, they dumped him.

        I’d love for the Mets to trade Reed to the Marlins straight up for Anthony Bass. He seems more interested in helping the Mets win than he does in helping the team that he actually plays for.

    “So the Marlins are 3-2 against the Mets. The Mets will be 5-3 against the Marlins after their next series against each other.”

    @why not 2…Jesus Luzardo seemed to adjust better s his start went on last night.

    I know, I know, you don’t like to hear about moral victories…unless they are coming from Anthony Recker and Todd Zeile.

    You are watching the Mutts in cement shoes falling quicker and quicker if the Phils and Braves did not suck so bad one of them would be up 6 to 10 games.Braves win NL East followed by the Phils then the Mutts or Marlins

      The Mets, as it is pronounced, may end up taking the division with 83 wins. As a fan I’ve mixed feelings about this.

    As a long time Mets fan Cosmo2 after 13 straight games with the Dodgers and the Giants don’t look for the Mets any higher than 3rd place in the NL East.

      Yea I don’t doubt that at all. It doesn’t look good. But it’s up to the other teams to pick it up. If the Phillies and Braves don’t seize the opportunity the Mets may back into the playoffs.

      Ugh with the DFA Conforto nonsense. Bench him vs lefties definitely. But he still has way more potential than your average fourth OFr. Don’t release a player who’s been good up til this year out of frustration. That’s just foolish.
