Mets Outright Joe Hudson

By Steve Adams | June 27, 2024 at 8:53am CDT

June 27: Hudson cleared outright waivers and has been assigned to Triple-A Syracuse, tweets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

June 24: The Mets have designated catcher Joe Hudson for assignment, per a team announcement. His spot on the roster will go to fellow backstop Luis Torrens, who has been reinstated from the paternity list.

The journeyman Hudson was selected to the Mets’ roster earlier this month in advance of the team’s London showdown against the Phillies. He only wound up appearing in one major league game, however, and he did not take an appearance at the plate.

This brief stint was the 33-year-old Hudson’s first appearance on a major league roster since 2020. He’s tallied 18 games in the majors over the course of a 13-year pro career, picking up 33 plate appearances in that short time. Hudson is 5-for-30 with a double, two walks and six strikeouts in the majors. The former sixth-rounder is a career .229/.333/.398 hitter in six Triple-A seasons — including a .237/.392/.441 showing in 21 games with the Mets’ Syracuse affiliate this year.

The Mets will have a week to attempt to pass Hudson through outright waivers, trade him or release him.

    I can’t see anyone claiming him. He isn’t young anymore. He is is a competent AAA player, but not much else, and the next team needs to keep him on their 40 man or go thru this same process.

    His average this season is about double that of Alex Jackson of the Rays.

    Oil Can Boyd
    Cannonball Titcomb
    Home Run Baker
    Three Finger Brown
    Snuffy Stirnweiss
    Buttercup Dickerson
    Vinegar Bend Mizell
    Mysterious Walker
    Moonlight Graham
    Catfish Hunter
    Boof Bonser.

      Home Run Baker maxed out with 12 HRs in a season. Kwan might beat his season record and then we’ll have to start calling Kwan, Home Run Kwan.

    3 finger brown can be done on any player. All you need is a good knife & a willing participant.

    I guess he gets a week of paid vacation at his MLB salary while he goes unclaimed.

    They needed a warm body and served his purpose, at least he’s getting a paycheck. Can’t fault the guy.
