The Mets announced that right-hander Ty Adcock has been claimed off waivers from the Tigers and been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. The righty had been designated for assignment by Detroit on the weekend. The Mets had a couple of open spots on their 40-man roster after Joey Wendle and Yohan Ramírez were both designated for assignment last week. This move will bring their count up to 39.
Adcock, 27, has been bouncing around the league this year. He started the season with the Mariners but was designated for assignment in early April and claimed by the Tigers, making this his second waiver claim and third organization of the year already.
Around those transactions, he has thrown 8 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level but with an 8.64 earned run average. He has struck out 25% of batters faced but some runs have been helped across the plate by a 13.6% walk rate, a .375 batting average on balls in play and a couple of home runs.
The Mets are clearly willing to overlook that ERA and are focusing more on the bigger picture. Adcock was drafted in 2019 but had his debut delayed by the minor leagues being canceled in 2020 and then Tommy John surgery in April of 2021. He made it back to the mound briefly in 2022 but last year was a sort of breakout for him.
Adcock tossed 20 2/3 innings on the farm in 2023 with a 1.74 ERA, 29.3% strikeout rate and 6.7% walk rate. He also had a 3.45 ERA in 15 2/3 big league innings, averaging 96.6 miles per hour on his fastball in the process.
The Mets had a couple of open roster spots, as mentioned, and Adcock has a couple of option years remaining. Despite his shaky results this year, there’s little harm in sending him to Triple-A and seeing if he can get back into his 2023 form going forward.
Raley will soon go on the 60 day il so they’ll add Peterson off the 60 day il soon enough.
One has nothing to do with the other. The Mets’ roster was at 38 before this, and is at 39 now. So Raley’s spot is immaterial right now.
Peterson is scheduled to pitch another rehab game on the 24th. So he’s not available to start again until the 29th.
Now go get Richard Lovelady, bring Chuck Wanke out of retirement and trade for Miles Mastrobuoni – and Mets will have their hands full.
Depending on exact terms, it might be more prudent to Multiplycock.
Their Brad Hands full
Nothing says strengthening your organization like Adcock
more dumpster diving
Your comment is dumpster diving
Haha got em
Preseason i thought 90 L for muts
Now it looks more like 100+
And bec their payroll is historically large their draft pick wont be #1 but more like 21
What a hopeless franchise
Johnny Utah is a pathetic mutt
They just need to add Pete LaCock to coaching that will definitely increase the teams Testosterone levels, but they should stay clear of a pierce johnson in the bullpen.
Pluscock today.
Wait, did the Mets just Adcock to the organization? Wow!
I should be his agent 🙂
Gonna love the mute button for this thread.
Mets have been free falling could be 17 games back by months end. Let’s take a poll who’s the first Met traded? Sevy? Bader? Do I dare say Alonso?
I pray its Alonso; let’s get something now and not watch another 400-million-dollar contract spiral down to the ground.
Do you want to see 3/4 billion dollars tied up in Linwhore and Polar Beer batting under .220?
Buff Barnacles letting everyone here know that he’s soft af lololol
See you. Best of luck.
y’all have the minds of 14 year olds….
is there a Mike Hunt in baseball?
Mendunce and Dollar Tree David need to go. How are we going to win games with guys like Adcock, Josh Walker, Grant Hartwig, Drew Smith, SRF, etc. Its kind of funny, they got rid of Austin Adams in spring training and he’d be our best reliever right now. Its not a COHENcidence that this team is doing so bad. Terrible owner, awful GM, one of the worst managers in the game, and the most delusional fanbase in existance. I said before the season that we’d win 75 games. Looks like I’ll be right as usual
Decent addition, but it’s frittering at the margins.
