Nick Tropeano Elects Free Agency

By Anthony Franco | August 4, 2021 at 5:09pm CDT

Nick Tropeano has elected free agency after being passed through outright waivers by the Mets, according to the MLB.com transactions tracker. New York designated the 30-year-old for assignment last Friday to clear roster space to accommodate their deadline day acquisitions.

As a player who had previously been outrighted in his career, Tropeano had the right to elect free agency while retaining the remainder of his $1.1MM salary for this season. He’s now free to explore opportunities around the league.

Tropeano saw a bit of big league time with the Giants and Mets this season, tossing eight innings of three-run ball. He only struck out two batters in that tiny sample of work, but the right-hander showed far better bat-missing ability in some time with the Pirates last year. Over 15 2/3 frames with Pittsburgh, Tropeano pitched to a 1.15 ERA with a strong 28.8% strikeout rate and 14.9% swinging strike rate.

Given his decent performance over the past couple seasons, Tropeano should have little trouble finding another opportunity on the open market. While he broke in as a starting pitcher with the Astros and Angels, Tropeano has worked exclusively in relief over the past two years, managing a cumulative 1.52 ERA/3.52 FIP over 23 2/3 innings.

    Wise move. Mets didn’t want to let the guy pitch.

    If he was any good, he’d be on a team and wouldn’t have a chance to elect free agency.

    Looking at his stats without seeing him pitch, I thought he was a good addition. Once I saw him pitch, I realized why teams werent giving him chances. He throws too slow and hes not fooling anyone. Definitely not a major league pitcher

      I agree. If he was missing bats in PIttsburgh, then his ball had more movement on it than he showed in Queens. He wasn’t missing any bats blowing it by anyone.

    We’ll trade you Anthony Bass for Tropeano.

    It’ll be so fitting. Anthony Bass is battling to be the Mets MVP. He’s done everything he can this year to help them win the division.

    I see the Angels stashing him at AAA, calling him up for a double header, and then cutting him loose.

    This is another player the Brewer’s can use. The injuries and covid bugs are taking a huge hit on there bullpen.

    The first thing that Cohen needs to do is DFA conforto or at least send him to the minors get him out of here life long mets fan here since 86 when I saw Buckner bobble the play at shea then sign pitching pitching pitching you’ll have to over pay cause nobody wants to come to this disfunction. Then sign baez and build around him Alonso and lindor and Smith yesterday was the beginning of the end of 2021 i would love to see if we can sign soto because conforto is nothing but a AAA player at best Mckinney was better how can the front office watch this team. I know that they don’t have a clue what to do
